Final goodbyes

Seeing a loved one die is a lot to take in.

This moment, brief as might be, may be the last opportunity for any words of forgiviness, apologies, important information and/or declarations of love. Also full of pleadings and begging as well.

But the good side of this trope is that we have two whumpees at once.

And since the base of this trope is a character's death, obviously, there'll be spoilers all over.
