Death is interesting because normally you only get one go at it and therefore no time to waste.
If you get the last words wrong to the dying person, there's no chance to rephrase.
In my limited experience, I've enjoyed the company of terminally ill people.
What's that saying? Something like 'Being condemned to hang at dawn concentrates the mind'?
Well, people who are dying are normally pretty serious and interesting.Dunno about those two though.
Holding fast to their values perhaps?
