I tend to think that even if someone hasn't lived well...whatever that may mean for the person...that being able to come to terms with things you maybe aren't so proud of and apologizing to those close to you that you may have hurt along the well helps in the idea of dying well. Of course, this is under the assumption that a person has time to do these things which doesn't happen in a sudden death.
My reason for saying this is largely based on the last few years of my dad's life when he took responsibility for prior actions and hurts caused. It wasn't so much a case of asking forgiveness and more a case of facing, and admitting, the fact that some big, damaging mistakes had been made.
Though atheist in his later years, I think that he was more at peace with his imminent death after facing some things that were hard to face.
I hope that makes some sense.
