* In ''Film/{{Atonement}}'', this is one of Briony's duties as a nurse during World War I -- sitting with dying soldiers and holding their hands so that they don't have to die alone.
* In ''Film/BigFish'', the "climax" of the film is Will telling his dying father, a lover and teller of tall tales of his life, a tall tale of his own in which Will helps his father escape the hospital and chased by the law enforcement but helped by all the characters from his father's tales until they reach the lake from his youth and becomes the titular fish. Needless to say, his father is more the pleased to leave the mortal coil on that ending.
* ''Film/Fury2014'': In the aftermath of the hedgerow tank assault, [[BadassPreacher Bible]] is seen approaching a dying German soldier. He holds the dying soldier's hand and asks him calmly if he was a praying man. The German weakly nods and Bible brings him through his last rites in English.
* In ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'', one of the [[PetTheDog few moments of true decency]] in the film's [[CrapsackWorld otherwise bleak setting]] is when Blondie (who is supposed to be the titular Good, but has mostly just been ALighterShadeOfBlack) finds a young soldier dying in the aftermath of a [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar Civil War]] battle. Without hesitation Blondie removes his coat and [[ImColdSoCold wraps the young man in it]] to comfort him, then gives the kid OneLastSmoke from his cigar. Blondie even ignores the fact that one of his rivals is getting a head start towards the fortune in gold that all the main characters are trying to claim while he stays with the young soldier.

[[caption-width-right:350:Priest Luis Padillo offers a dying soldier their last rites.]]
It goes without saying that the mere thought of death is a terrifying thing. While we're all going to die one day, nobody wants to go through the process of dying. After all, in fiction, it's usually slow and painful, and while you may be able to get off a DeathbedConfession or two, you'll never be able to say everything you want to say. It's worse still if you haven't lived a full life, or have one or more major regrets.
But it's not all bad. Sometimes, someone will be around to provide comfort in your last moments. In works, this character is usually a loved one of a kind, such as one of the hero's TrueCompanions. Otherwise, it's a NiceGuy who just happens to be there, or it could even be a PetTheDog moment for a morally ambiguous character. The important part is, this character is here, and they take the time to make the dying feel comfortable and happy before they pass.
This can result in several subtropes:
* CradlingYourKill: A killer gives comfort to their victim.
* LetThemDieHappy: Someone lies to a person on their deathbed, to make them die happily.
* StayWithMeUntilIDie: A dying character requests someone's companionship.
The exact opposite is DyingAlone, which is the painful alternative that makes this trope so powerful by contrast. Related and overlapping tropes are GoOutWithASmile, YouAreNotAlone, and DiedLaughing. This may come from a moment of DeliriousMisidentification.

[[AC:ComicBooks]]
* One issue of ''ComicBook/TopTen'' sees Peregrine called upon to provide comfort to a pair of aliens who have become fused with each other after a teleportation-related accident. She has the unhappy task of telling them that they will both likely die within a day.
[[AC:Film- Animated]]
* The young furlings of ''WesternAnimation/OnceUponAForest'' have only two days' time in which to retrieve medicinal herbs for the dying {{moe}} Michelle. Their adult mentor, Cornelius, cannot accompany them, since he dares not leave Michelle unattended. As the furlings journey forth, Cornelius conducts an agonizing vigil at Michelle's bedside. Although the furlings return with the herbs at the eleventh hour, Michelle remains unresponsive. It's a DisneyDeath, however.

* In ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'', one of the [[PetTheDog few moments of true decency]] in the film's [[CrapsackWorld otherwise bleak setting]] is when Blondie (who is supposed to be the titular Good, but has mostly just been ALighterShadeOfBlack) finds a young soldier dying in the aftermath of a [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar Civil War]] battle. Without hesitation Blondie removes his coat and [[ImColdSoCold wraps the young man in it]] to comfort him, then gives the kid OneLastSmoke from his cigar. Blondie even ignores the fact that one of his rivals is getting a head start towards the fortune in gold that all the main characters are trying to claim while he stays with the young soldier.
* In ''Film/{{Atonement}}'', this is one of Briony's duties as a nurse during World War I - sitting with dying soldiers and holding their hands so that they don't have to die alone.
* Viktor Taransky directs ''Film/{{S1m0ne}}'' and her costar, Hal Sinclair, in his latest production. [=S1m0ne=]'s character lies abed dying, while Hal's character professes his undying love. Of course, Hal is saying this to an on-set stand-in, because [=S1m0ne=] is purely digital, and can only appear as post-production computer graphics.
* In ''Film/BigFish'', the "climax" of the film is Will telling his dying father, a lover and teller of tall tales of his life, a tall tale of his own in which Will helps his father escape the hospital and chased by the law enforcement but helped by all the characters from his father's tales until they reach the lake from his youth and becomes the titular fish. Needless to say, his father is more the pleased to leave the mortal coil on that ending.
[[AC:Literature]]
* ''Literature/TheHungerGames'':
** Katniss spends a good chunk of the 74th games bonding with Rue, who reminds her a lot of her beloved little sister, Prim. When Rue gets fatally wounded by Marvel, Katniss stays with her until she dies and uses that time to sing her off.
** In the 75th games, the tributes are stuck on an island full of timed traps. During an attack by crazed monkey-mutts, an older woman known only as "The female Morphling" sacrificed herself for Peeta. In return, Peeta brought her to the beach and held her until she died, making her GoOutWithASmile.
* ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive'': In a flashback, [[spoiler:Shallan]] comforts [[spoiler:her [[AbusiveParents father]]]] while she strangles him to death for trying to murder [[spoiler:her brother]]. The knowledge that his SanitySlippage was [[spoiler:partly, albeit inadvertently, caused by her is only ''part'' of the TraumaCongaLine of her backstory.]]
*''Literature/DoctorSleep'': After finally overcomming his alcoholism, Dan Torrance finds work in a hospice, where he uses his psychic powers to provide comfort to dying patients. This is what acquires the nickname "Doctor Sleep."

-->'''Britta:''' Oh. Sure.

Dr. House ends up trapped in a room with an elderly man with only a few hours left to live. With nothing else to do, [[DrJerk curmudgeonly loner]] House bonds with the man and helps him say his goodbyes to his daughter by leaving a voice message.
[[AC:Tabletop Games]]
* In the revolutionary-themed TabletopRPG ''TabletopGame/{{Comrades}}'', there is a special mechanic called "Cradle a Dying Comrade", when a PlayerCharacter attempts to comfort another who is dying due to loss of all HitPoints. The comforting player makes a single die roll, modified by their RelationshipValues with the dying one, and on a good roll, the latter may [[ThePowerOfFriendship miraculously survive]], or at least leave the former with some FamousLastWords that will inspire their fellow revolutionaries later on (i.e. giving them bonuses on rolls done in memory of their late comrade).
[[AC:Video Games]]
* ''[[Creator/ChoiceOfGames Choice of the Vampire]]'': The PlayerCharacter can choose to comfort their grandmother on her deathbed by talking with her, leave her to [[DyingAlone die alone]], or brush off her hopes of seeing an afterlife.

Of course not long after he kills her with a wrench (Though nearly doesn't get the code because he brains her ''before'' asking what it said as he can't read it. She remains conscious long enough to tell him). However he keeps his word to let the Little Sister he had held captive, Sally, go. As Elizabeth dies (though contently since she knows Jack, the protagonist of the first game, will stop Fontaine and Andrew Ryan, avenge her and save the other Little Sisters), Sally stays with Elizabeth and comforts her with a song in her final moments.
* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition:'' While Cole can often be found doing this throughout Skyhold for the dying Inquisition soldiers, if he is allowed to stay, many of the Inquisition's soldiers and staff can be overheard commenting on strange happenings throughout Skyhold. It's later revealed that Cole was behind all of them as acts of compassion and mercy. In one particular case, he arranged to spill some peaches over a fireplace, so that the smell would remind a nearby dying soldier of their happiest memories of their home, before passing on. Fittingly, this is because Cole was originally [[spoiler: a spirit of Compassion]].
[[AC:Webcomics]]
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': {{Downplayed|Trope}} after the fallen [[ThePaladin Paladin]] Miko is fatally injured in an explosion of her own doing. [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0464.html The spirit]] of her order's founder can only manage [[DamnedByFaintPraise faint praise]] for her efforts and doesn't pretend that she's redeemed herself, but concedes that she'll see her [[BondCreatures celestial horse]] in the afterlife.
-->'''Miko:''' OK... OK, then... I can live with that. ''[dies]''
* ''Webcomic/AloneTogether'' has Sergeant Jerom recovering from a cracked skull in the ship's infirmary. Another patient, mummified in bandages, mutters something unintelligible.
