End of life bucket lists are a strange thing, I recall a close family member who entered hospice. They kept attempting to use their credit card to pay for all expenses, dinners, etc.

Of course, everyone around wanted to contribute - this person was not well off, the credit card was not used for much.

It took some weeks later after they passed for me to realize that they knew it was a credit card bill they would never need to pay. In all likelihood others contributions simply blocked them from feeling that they were contributing.
