What people talk about before they die

I read this article on CNN the other day titled "What people talk about before they die." Ok, just so you don't think this is click bait, the answer is "mostly they talk about their families." This reminded me of something I thought about after my Mother died. Growing up I missed my Grandma Jensen, and Grandma & Grandpa Riding since they died while I was in elementary school and our families miss them very much, but they probably miss us just as much as we miss them. I know how much my Mom loves her grandchildren so I know she will miss them dearly. In the LDS faith we have a different perspective on death and the afterlife. It never occurred to me growing up that our family and friends that have died probably miss us too.
