This seems to be painting an overly-rosey picture of what dying is actually likely to be like.

It is likely that whilst dying one would either:

1. Already have his mind ruined long-before that point via dementia or something like that, thus would not be mentally competent to relay any stories at the point. Probably would not even remember many, either.

2. Would die suddenly without seeing it coming, thus have no time to relay such stories whilst dying.

3. There would be a long time period of being in "death possible to come" state, most of which be would be spent with no visitors present because they have obligations elsewhere they must attend to in their own lives.
