“Not only do they die how they lived but who they are at their core, like she said, comes out…at death.
“If someone is difficult to their core, they are going to be difficult at the end of life and families and loved ones who are going to be around that if they choose to be need to be prepared.”
The post attracted 92k likes and almost 5k comments.
One said: “My sainted grandmother once said: ‘People don’t get grumpy because they get old, they just become more of who they really are.’ Same principle.”

One added: “This is so true. When my narcissistic mother was actively dying in hospice, no energy to drink, talk, eat, looked past people, etc., she still managed to give me the ‘death glare.’ That look of utter disgust and hatred anyone who has dealt with a narcissist will know.
“The hospice nurse was right beside me when this happened and she said: ‘wow so is that what you grew up with your whole life?’ I said yes and she said she understood why I was estranged from her.”
But another commented: “My brother passed away earlier this year. A few days before he passed, I visited him in the hospital and as I went to leave, he said to me: ‘be safe, please.’

“I was told later his only concern was if I made it home safe until someone heard from me. In my experience, this was who he was to his core- someone caring, always worried about the people he loved.”
While one added: “When my father was dying and in the later stages of dementia, the hospice nurse was struggling with getting the pulse oxometer on his finger. He hadn’t spoken for weeks but somehow he managed to say to the nurse: ‘you’re doing a good job.’ THIS was my dad, always giving encouragement. Both me and the nurse teared up.”
