23 Shocking Things People Confessed From Their Deathbed

My mom’s aunt, when she was dying, revealed she’d had the hots for my dad for years. He claimed to be mad he never married her after divorcing my mom since she had some money to her name.

I met a lady on a train to Edinburgh who was really nervous because she was on the way to meet her brother for the first time in 70 years. Her parents had told her that he died when he was one, but they’d given him away because they couldn’t afford so many kids. She didn’t find out he was still alive until her Mother confessed it on her deathbed.

Me and all of my cousins were gathered around my grandfathers hospice bed as he laid dying. Each and every one of my cousins (there’s a lot of us) gave him a kiss and tried to talk to him/said they loved him, etc. But he wouldn’t respond to any of them, just stared. Until I came up. I sat on the edge of his bed, holding his hand. Everyone was watching us. He looked at me and said, “I don’t like Mexican food.” And that was it.

I have a great aunt that passed away when I was 17. Just before she did my older brother confessed to her that I was gay. She called me in and explained how our family has been through so much and that she was willing to totally accept me for who I am. I think that is great of her to be that open minded. Only one problem-I’m not gay. She never believed me because my brother had “confessed” it.
