My Mom was in the hospital with a DNR order.
She asked me to take her home, which I did. We put her in her bed to die and you could see the contentment on her face. It was the same bed my Dad had died in 20 years earlier.
She was gone the next day.

I've run through it several times in my head. I've had so many instances where death seemed imminent.

My grandmother was in hospice. They last couple of weeks were pretty grim, obviously. She didn't move or have the strength to say anything. However, right before her passing, she was able to say, "I see Jesus."
Whether you're a spiritual person or not, I thought that was pretty cool. It gave me a lot of peace.

Mine will probably be something like "that outfit makes your arse look fat."

Tell that to my wife who was a long time hospice nurse. She'll laugh in your face. She has stories for days. I'm a dad so this one is my favorite.
A man was unresponsive for a few days, and his two daughters were staying bed side with him. Well they wouldn't leave, and my wife said she would go every day and check him. She would warn this could and should very well be the day. Well he kept holding on longer than expected, and at least one of his daughters were bedside at all time. One day, one of his daughters had to go run and pick up their kids from school, and the other ran to the grocery a couple minutes down the road to get some quick groceries. She was gone maybe 10 minutes, but in that span he had passed. The daughters and my wife agree that he refused to pass in front of his little girls. Unresponsive or not.
No last words, but my wife has had dozens of things like this happen. Stories from hospice nurses would be a pretty cool TV show.

I truly believe she was waiting so we could both be holding her hands as she left this world.
My mother passed away in 2006. Cancer had finally and unfortunately prevailed over her and our best efforts. Hospice care was at our house with 24 hour care and us close for 3 weeks.
The last weekend was rough. All the signs that she was hours to moments away from passing were there. Somehow, she hung on until Monday morning. I got up that morning and her deep and labored breaths were coming minutes apart so we knew it was very close. With me and my family standing over her I grabbed her hand and told I/we were there and that there was no need for her to fight this any longer. At the very moment I finished that sentence she took her last breath.
My mother was a stubborn self reliant person and I have no doubt she fought the grim reaper right up to the point she, in whatever way she was capable of at that point, heard/recognized my voice at which point she let go...

Lol probably, but I meant it in a spiritually uplifting/ faith building way. She has said if you don't believe there is a God, then it's obvious you're not a hospice nurse.

My grandfather said "Can I please go? I'm so tired. I'm so tired." And my mom, aunt and uncle said yes dad you can go. Then he closed his eyes and died.

I always thought this story was unique and interesting so I will tell it…
I used to work with a guy who has longevity in his family history. His dad who lived in a rural town lived to be over 100 years old. When he as 99, he went to go have his drivers license renewed and the people wouldn’t let him. Needless to say he was quite unhappy with the people in that office.
He finally got to the point where he had someone coming by the house regularly to cook meals, and take care of a few things during the day. One morning he got up, ate breakfast and when he finished he said, “Well thats it! I had a good nights rest and a great breakfast. I think that will be enough.”
He got up from the table, told the person good bye and went back to the bedroom and laid down for a little mid-morning nap. He passed away in his sleep at 102 years of age.
I am personally convinced that the human will is a force of nature.

my Mom died a few months ago, I was in the room with her when she passed, the day she died I stepped out of the room just to go outside for a few minutes, when I returned to her room she was having a conversation and had the biggest smile on her face, I asked her who she was talking to and she said "my Mother," she went into a somewhat fitful sleep with a very pained look on her face, and the hospice nurse came into the room and we had a long talk about beginning the morphine and I checked with my sister and we agreed it was time, she took one dose and the pain went away from her face and she drifted off while holding my hand

When my stepfather’s sister had a massive heart attack, she was standing talking to her mom and sister and grabbed her chest and said “I’m dead!” And she was.
Also have a family friend whose husband was having chest pains. He was lying down on floor talking to his wife waiting on the ambulance to arrive. All at once, he grabbed his wife’s hand and said, “Oh God, here it comes! Here it comes!” And he was dead.
