1. Words of Desperate Retention ("Don't leave me")
While it is the most natural human reaction to beg a beloved parent, spouse, or child to stay, traditional folklore strictly warns against vocalizing desperate pleas of retention.
- The Reason: Binding a departing soul with intense emotional anchors creates a state of spiritual "purgatory," where the spirit struggles between letting go and responding to your pain. True love in its highest form at the end of life requires peaceful release, allowing the soul to journey forward without the heavy burden of guilt.
2. Words of Open Vengeance or Unresolved Blame ("I'll never forgive them")
If a passing occurs while family tensions or long-standing feuds are still raw, visiting relatives sometimes harbor lingering anger. Uttering threats, accusations, or declarations of unforgiveness near the bedside is considered a severe spiritual violation.
- The Reason: Death is meant to be a space of ultimate reconciliation. Bringing toxic animosity into the 48-hour sacred window poisons the energetic environment, leaving living family members trapped in a cycle of unresolved bitterness that manifests as physical anxiety and prolonged grief loops.

3. Words of Absolute Final Panic ("We are ruined / What will we do?")
Focusing immediately on the material chaos, financial void, or worldly panic caused by a death ("How will we pay for this?" or "We are completely lost without them") in the immediate presence of the passing is heavily discouraged.
