Medical professionals and families of dying patients share 37 moving last words heard from them that they'll never forget.

The final moments of life often carry immense weight and significance. For those working in the medical field, these moments can be particularly moving and, at times, haunting. The words spoken byin their last breaths can leave a lasting impact on the healthcare providers or family members who witness them. These words can be reflective, regretful, or even chilling, resonating deeply with those who hear them.

I was in the Army, and one of my fellow soldiers was able to call their parents on a sat phone during their death. Their last words were apologies for causing so much trouble as a teen and how they wished they could be back home to fix everything. The parents were in shock, and I had to take the phone to let them know their child was gone.It’s happened on more than one occasion where a patient directly tells me they are going to die and seconds later go into cardiac arrest.

I think about that a lot. I don’t know if she’s right or not or if she meant it to be deeper than that, probably not. But “you don’t die all at once” sticks with me now.I have done hospice work, home health care, and worked in a nursing home. The best one was in a nursing home with an elderly man. We knew it was coming soon, but he has no family, so we were taking turns just being with him. He opened his eyes and smiled and said, “It’s such a lovey day. Don’t let this spoil it.

We later found out he was poisoned, and the wife was likely the culprit due to an insurance fraud case.

This isn't really"scary" in the way you're asking, but when I was an intern , I was discharging a patient I had a connection with from the hospital to hospice with terminal cancer. This dude had nobody in his life. I told him I'd come visit him, and his last words to me were"no you won't." But I actually did, maybe 3 weeks later. I went to the hospice house, and he had already passed away. I was wrecked.

I was with my father in law when he passed. No words, just long gasping breaths like a fish out of water. I volunteer with hospice and my patient had fallen and was not doing well. She wasn’t really fully awake and aware while I was there. When I went to leave she looked me in the eyes and was so “there” and said I love you to me for the first and last time. She was just so sweet and I still miss her.Bless you for volunteering with hospice. My uncle was on hospice for a short period of time to give my parents a break and even at 8, I knew that those people were incredible on different level.
