Feels like people on their deathbed are allowed to express their thoughts, trite/trivial or not. When you are literally dying the last thing on your mind should be whether some blogger deems your thoughts valuable or cheap.

May we all get to enjoy those final moments free of the need to perform on stage and express those things we truly wish to pass on to those will hear them.

to be fair when you're dying the other last thing on your mind should probably be your regrets, so there is some truth in the article.

When people go through dramatic events, not necessarily limited to their literal death, there's often a false sense of clarity. It's not uncommon for people with trauma or loss to suddenly have some conversion of one kind or the other, and it's rarely as good of an idea as they think it is. It seems more sincere because for the individual it's tied to some important event, but I think it's often the opposite.
