Finally, there are hurtful statements meant to linger. They can come in the form of critiques or accusations, with the aim that you will never forget them. Just like the Narcissist hates No Contact or being ignored, they would hate being forgotten. They know from experience that words are immensely powerful. Thus, their last statements are intended to cut deep and leave an unforgettable impression. By dwelling on these negative words or comments made by the Narcissist, you will keep them alive in your mind and in your life, which is what the Narcissist wants.
Before I conclude, it is possible for a self-aware Narcissist to say things that inspire or reflect their desire for reconciliation, but it would heavily depend on their level of insight at the end.
In general, Narcissists in their final moments are more interested in playing the victim and protecting their false image. They are not interested in owning up to the evil they have done. They do not want to hear about it, and they definitely do not want to talk about it. Making accusations, blame-shifting, and guilt-tripping are still at the top of their priority list. The Narcissist wants to remain relevant in your life even after they die. Their words are not haphazard; they are strategic and meant to linger. However, their words only have as much power as you allow them to have. Do not let a Narcissist or any negative or toxic person speak into your life. Do not accept what they say; do not receive it. Send it back from whence it came and be free.
