death bed
Where last words
A death bed is the bed where someone dies or lies dying, and by extension, the final hours or moments of life itself.
A deathbed confession is made in those last moments, often revealing long-held secrets.
Someone on their deathbed is near death: He reconciled with his estranged son on his deathbed.
Also spelled as one word: deathbed.
