23 Shocking Things People Confessed From Their Deathbed

5.

I was told by my father that in addition to 2 other kids he had that I knew of, there were more children of his out there. Also that only 2 if his kids were with the same woman. 4 of them showed up at his service (in addition to the other 2), making it 7 of us present. We also found out that he may have had other kids elsewhere but my family kept really poor records of things, so I have never found out who they are. Most of that was word of mouth from old friends of his.

My grandpa told my dad he loved him for the first time when he was dying from cancer. Grandpa was a drunk all throughout my dad’s childhood and had a strained relationship with the family. So this was pretty surprising to hear from him.

Not necessarily a confession, but I used to work in an assisted living home and on his deathbed a resident apologized profusely for molesting his daughters son just minutes before he took his last breath.

My mom told me about the death of her father, my grandfather, and his last words to her. She said he was on his deathbed and it was obvious he was nearing the end. He motioned her over to tell her something. She went over, leaned in close, expecting some declaration of his love for her or some deeply insightful. He said “The good family silverware is hidden in the ventilation system about 15 feet out from the furnace.” She looked at him like he was crazy. He said “What!! We travel a lot and that’s where I hid it. That shit’s expensive!” He died the next morning.
