23 Shocking Things People Confessed From Their Deathbed

We went back to China for my grandmother’s last few weeks as she was dying from terminal cancer. On my grandma’s last days, she requested that mum stay with her alone, and it was only then she revealed that my mum wasn’t her biological kid. My grandma confessed that she has bought my mum from a child trafficking ring (which was common in China), because she had tried for many years and still couldn’t get pregnant. My mother cried a lot, not only for the unimaginable pain that her biological parents likely went through in losing a baby, but also for the fact that my grandparents have went beyond to treat my mum as their little princess. They literally did treat my mum as their own.

Well, it was intended to be a deathbed confession, but she pulled through. My gf’s mom told my gf her birth father’s name after saying she didn’t know, she was whoring around and couldn’t remember. It was Orange County in the 80’s and apparently my future mother in law fucked and did drugs with most of the lowlifes in Southern California. But she did know who my gf’s dad was and finally told her after 30+ years. Turns out he now lived less than three blocks away in our small town in the Mohave desert. His kids look exactly like my gf did at their age. We didn’t make contact, as his criminal record is a mile long and he’s a shitty person by all evidence.

My mother worked as a nurse in the biggest hospital in Copenhagen. A dude is terminally ill with cancer, has his wife, children and entire family next to him. He decides before he dies that he was gonna phone the girl he was cheating with on his wife, to meet up at the hospital when the entire family was there. My mother had to move the entire family into another room when she showed up, because of massive shouting and hysteria. What a selfish prick he was.
