Last words of a person at the time of death: Doctors and nurses revealed, know what people say at the time of their last breath?
Death is the last and most mysterious truth of life, which everyone has to face one day or the other. But before this last journey, the last words that come out of a person's mouth are not only the essence of his entire life, but they also reveal the deep and unspoken feelings of life. These last words contain regret, remorse, love, gratitude, and sometimes unspoken wishes of life. After the revelations made by doctors and nurses, it has become interesting to know what people say close to death and what their emotional context may be.
Emotions expressed at the last moment
The feelings and mental state of a person at the time of death can often be understood from his last words. Julie McFadden, an experienced hospice nurse from Los Angeles, who has been working in this field for the last 15 years, shared her experience and said that the last words of patients are usually simple and very emotional, which do not resemble any film scene at all. Julie says that at the time of death, people often want to say to their family and loved ones, "I love you very much", "I'm sorry" or "thank you". These words are usually very peaceful and comforting, which become an emotional support not only for the deceased but also for the people around them. Julie said that these words do not come with any drama, but come straight from the heart, and show that even at the last moment, a person understands the importance of his relationships.
Regrets and unspoken wishes
As death approaches, many people regret some mistakes and neglects in their lives. They say "I wish I had taken better care of my health", "I wish I had spent more time with my family" or "I wish I had lived life to the fullest". Such words are often heard from people who are now in the last stage of life and who now think about their mistakes. Julie told that many times women regret their body. In the last days of their life, they say that they have always been deprived of many enjoyable things in the pursuit of losing weight and taking care of the body. They believed that if they had enjoyed a little more, life would have been more satisfying. These lines reflect the importance of life and the importance of relationships.
"I want to go home" and things from the past
Another interesting thing that Julie shared was that many times patients nearing death call out the names of their loved ones, such as parents or friends or relatives who have passed away earlier. Julie says that patients often talk about "going home" in their final moments, which may perhaps symbolize going to another place after death. This may be a sign that they are ready for the soul journey and now they want to meet those who have passed away before. Apart from this, another interesting aspect was that some patients start talking in their mother tongue in the last moments of death, which they have not spoken for years. This may be a sign that they are returning to their past and roots and getting lost in old memories during this time. This is an interesting aspect of human psychology, in which people try to relive the memories related to their childhood, family and motherland as they approach death.
Difference in the last words of the elderly and the young
Dr Simran Malhotra, who is an experienced therapist, also shared her experience about this. She said that the last words of elderly patients are usually peaceful, like "I am at peace" or "I have lived a good life". These words reflect their satisfaction and peace. They are accepting death as a natural and peaceful process. At the same time, the words of young patients often reflect fear and a sense of unpreparedness. Simran Malhotra gave an example saying that young patients often say, "I am not ready to die yet". This shows that they have more desires to live and they want to live life more.
Heart-touching experiences
Julie McFadden also shared a very emotional anecdote about her experiences. Once, a patient asked her, "Will I close my eyes and see God?" On this question, a light laughter was exchanged between Julie and that patient and then Julie said, "Maybe that will happen." This moment became a symbol of peace not only for both of them but also for that patient. In another experience, a patient held Julie's hand and said, "I am dying, baby!" and then took his last breath peacefully. The moment was very emotional and it shows that a deep peace and love can be felt even at the end of life.
Message of death and life
Doctors and nurses say that the true emotions expressed at the time of death make us understand the true value of life. While approaching death, people feel the importance of love, forgiveness, gratitude and relationships. This is the time when they accept their mistakes and apologize to their loved ones instead of regretting and regretting. It teaches us to live life to the fullest and cherish our relationships. Doctors and nurses also advised that we should take care of our health, relationships and health.
