It seems strange to imagine telling someone who isn't going to experience anything ever again anything at all.

All of us will eventually never experience anything ever again. What's the difference between a few seconds and a few years.
If they listen and notice they experience something right then and there and maybe at that point it's nice to feel loved... a sweet moment for a dying person briefly supercedes the metaphysical confusion of the living.
At that point I would imagine the words are mostly for the speaker, rather than the listener. Mourning is all about saying goodbye.
people are strange then.
