Why not tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God to your loved ones in your last moments with them? Don't they deserve that?!



Don't they deserve that

Of course not, unless of course they happen to be assholes. Tell them what you think they need to hear to make a terrible situation as bearable as possible and try to help them have a loving memory of you. Confessing your 'sins' on your deathbed just to ease your conscience without any thoughts of the consequences is an extremely selfish and narcissistic act which does nothing to help your loved ones.


Nobody said that the whole truth consists of "sins". Might we guess that you feel guilty for something?


My implication that I didn't effectively communicate was that they deserve to be with the True You in life, not just on your death bed. It's not about easing your conscience. It's about giving people the feedback that they need to be fulfilled humans!
