Does it warn people if they're too close to dying? Maybe with a reflection of their own face see-able to them and others as a warning on a rare occasion with some people? God Knows Why.

Depends on what you believe.

Is this why grim reaper face is usually illustrated blank?
???
Quote from: AuraMassageArtI saw something on TV that talked about this.
When your are near death do you actually see your own face reflected in the "grim reapers" face?
Last time i died i didn't see any reflected faces or grim reapers.
Good answers.
Thanks.
I updated original post some.
Not to my experience no, Death is very ficle about things. She just tends to hang around you. Yes I said she, I wonder where the idea that Death had to be a skelton with a black robe came to mind, oh well. From what I have seen of her, she wear black yes, but mostly things that you or me would wear, she likes to tease people about it. She is also very powerful too, when my friend talked to her, he wanted to fight, she said ok, snapped her fingers and said that he was dead from the neck down. Just don't tinkle her off and you can become a good friend, though business is still business.

Seems a little elaborate to me.
i don't know, some say dopplegangers appear to those that either will die or have a relative dying, so prehaps it is true if the grim reaper is an actual figure that exists

I didn't need any warnings - this happened in 1944, i was 16-17 years old resistance fighter, i was alone and outnumbered 20 or 30 to 1 and i had only about ten bullets, my old hunting rifle and one german grenade so there was a very low probability of surviving.
When I heard very characteristic sound of german MG42 and the bullet went through my body I knew that I was going to die - the bullet probably crushed my spinal cord because I fell to the ground like a rag doll.
My last thought was in polish : "No to juz po mnie" and in english "So this is the end of me".
(wow my eyes are becoming wet as i'm writing this)
After a few seconds of sharp pain i have lost all my physical senses and went out of my body.
I felt complete weightlessness and for about 2 or 3 seconds the only thing that I could see was the darkness, then I felt huge amounts of love and complete bliss and the Light appeared high above me and I was pulled towards that Light at an extremely high speed.
In 1978 my current body was born about 4 miles to the north of the woods where i died 34 years earlier.
ps. Before I died I felt some pain, but thanks to the sedative effects of adrenaline it wasn't as painful as everyone thinks it is.
ps2. I know exactly where i was hit because i have there a small red mark on my skin (1,5cm in diameter).
