Reddit users on the AskReddit forum who saw off their dying loved ones have shared the most touching last words they heard during their final moments.
Many contributors named requests not to be forgotten as the saddest phrases spoken by dying relatives. Reddit user ragtop1989 said their father feared he would be forgotten and asked them to please not forget about him. Five years have passed since his death, and the user noted that not a single day passes without remembering him, adding that they miss their father deeply.
Other users were moved by attempts from relatives to hold ordinary conversations during their last minutes. Reddit user Divine-Crusader shared that their uncle could barely speak due to cancer, but suddenly felt better and began asking family members how their day had gone. The conversation turned to discussions about Led Zeppelin and Santana, and half an hour later he died.
Final words from children
Many users said they could not forget words spoken by children before their death. Reddit user packetssniffer recalled the passing of their stepdaughter after her battle with cancer. They noted that she could barely speak but whispered to her mother asking if she would go to heaven. The user added that they wished she had not seen everyone grieving and crying, feeling it only frightened her.
Earlier, Reddit users over forty warned people in their twenties about habits that could become quiet health killers in the future. Comments explaining that avoiding visits to the dentist could cause major health problems gathered thousands of reactions.
