user151: What Buddhist advice can be given to a dying Buddhist/Christian in order to facilitate the letting go and acceptance many people experience on their deathbeds?
The particular Buddhist/Christian I'm speaking of worries about eternal hell and all the bad karma in her life. Does worrying about Hell have something to do with samvega?

user471: The Gilāna Sutta below provides deathbed advice to a lay follower.

At that time several mendicants were making a robe for the Buddha,
thinking that when his robe was finished and the three months of the
rains residence had passed the Buddha would set out wandering.
Mahānāma the Sakyan heard about this. Then he went up to the Buddha,
bowed, sat down to one side, and told him that he had heard that the
Buddha was leaving. He added, “Sir, I haven’t heard and learned it in
the presence of the Buddha how a wise lay follower should advise
another wise lay follower who is sick, suffering, gravely ill.”
“Mahānāma, a wise lay follower should put at ease another wise lay
follower who is sick, suffering, gravely ill with four consolations.
‘Be at ease, sir. You have experiential confidence in the Buddha … the
teaching … the Saṅgha … And you have the ethical conduct loved by the
noble ones … leading to immersion.’
When a wise lay follower has put at ease another wise lay follower who
is sick, suffering, gravely ill with these four consolations, they
should say: ‘Are you concerned for your mother and father?’ If they
reply, ‘I am,’ they should say: ‘But sir, it’s your nature to die.
Whether or not you are concerned for your mother and father, you will
die anyway. It would be good to give up concern for your mother and
father.’
If they reply, ‘I have given up concern for my mother and father,’
they should say: ‘But are you concerned for your partners and
children?’ If they reply, ‘I am,’ they should say: ‘But sir, it’s your
nature to die. Whether or not you are concerned for your partners and
children, you will die anyway. It would be good to give up concern for
your partners and children.’
If they reply, ‘I have given up concern for my partners and children,’
they should say: ‘But are you concerned for the five kinds of human
sensual stimulation?’ If they reply, ‘I am,’ they should say: ‘Good
sir, heavenly sensual pleasures are better than human sensual
pleasures. It would be good to turn your mind away from human sensual
pleasures and fix it on the gods of the Four Great Kings.’
If they reply, ‘I have done so,’ they should say: ‘Good sir, the gods
of the Thirty-Three are better than the gods of the Four Great Kings …
Good sir, the gods of Yama … the Joyful Gods … the Gods Who Love to
Create … the Gods Who Control the Creations of Others … the Gods of
the Brahmā realm are better than the Gods Who Control the Creations of
Others. It would be good to turn your mind away from the Gods Who
Control the Creations of Others and fix it on the Gods of the Brahmā
realm.’ If they reply, ‘I have done so,’ they should say: ‘Good sir,
the Brahmā realm is impermanent, not lasting, and included within
identity. It would be good to turn your mind away from the Brahmā
realm and apply it to the cessation of identity.’
If they reply, ‘I have done so,’ then there is no difference between a
lay follower whose mind is freed in this way and a mendicant whose
mind is freed from defilements; that is, between the freedom of one
and the other.”
