So why aren't you saying these things to your family NOW instead of when you're dying?

I would tell them exactly what I tell them every time I see them. Remember this I have always loved you & always will.
If I where on my death bed I would ask, rather than tell. I would want to know the same thing my Mother wanted to know on hers. Is everything alright between you & I. I have 5 grown children. I would want to ask each one in private and have a little talk and tell each one a special thing about them that was special to me. Maybe something they did. I want to leave a pleasant memorie and a sweet smile.I live for Jesus, I pray they will too !!~~~Jill

It depends on the situation. If your parents or other members of the family are elderly and might react badly(heart attack, etc.) you would have to be gentle about it. Other than that I would tell them I love them very much and I hope they will be strong and move on with their lives.

I would tell them that I love them and will be with them always..in spirit. Where to look for my insurance policies and to carry out my wishes..Also,and most important,that I have lived a good, happy life and have no regrets..Not to grieve because my physical life is ending,rather rejoice for the eternal life I will be given..Amen!

I would ask my mother to forgive me for being a troubled teen. I would ask her to forgive me for never understanding her ways.I would thank her for everything she taught me and everything she let me learn on my own.
I would ask my dad to forgiving me for not being there for him when he needed me. Ask him for forgive all the times I never answered my cell when he called. He always left a simple message stating he loved me and just wanted to say hi. I would thank him for always being there for me and never turning him back on me when I hit rock bottom.
I would ask my brother to forgive me for never trying to get along with him. He lives 2 minutes aways from me and I don't even see him every day. I would thank him for standing by my side through my DV relationship. I never did thank him for his love and compassion he show for me.
I would ask my sister (K) to forgive me for never allowing her to conversate in just the simplest ways. I want to thank her for teaching me to look at the bigger picture, not just a narrow path.
I would ask my sister (M) to forgive me for not helping her through her disorder. I wanted to be with her but I have to let her learn on her own. I would thank her for teaching me to love who I am on the inside and not to hate me for my outside.
I would ask my baby sister (C) to forgive me for never allowing her to be an individual. I always compared her to my other sisters and never let her be herself. I love how she is a rebel and I thank her for teaching ME to be an individual.
Life is to short. Don't put off tomorrow what you can do today. There is always time for family. Make time.....
