comment
Often times, a Heroic Sacrifice is performed with no fanfare, no comment. Sometimes there's no time for a farewell. Sometimes saying goodbye would mean nobody would let you go. Whatever the reason, there's no goodbye. The hero dies, saves the day, and there is no closure. The viewer might think, "What? They Never Got to Say Goodbye. They died for this and they couldn't even have a last moment with their Love Interest/True Companions/Loyal Animal Companion? What a cheat!"
The Pre-Sacrifice Final Goodbye is what happens when the sacrifice is given more pathos; in their final moments, the hero gets to say goodbye. A final reward and feel-good moment that allows them to die happy, and at least grants their loved ones some closure.
Compare If I Do Not Return, where the Hero's death is not certain and they're asking someone else to pass on a message to their loved one(s) if they die. Also related to Dead Man Writing (where the character leaves a final message behind rather than delivering it in person). Contrast with Planning for the Future Before the End, when the Hero avoids the topic of their death and instead discusses future plans that everyone knows will never happen. See also It Has Been an Honor.
Tear Jerker is the Intended Audience Reaction.
As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

In the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Azati Prime", Captain Archer makes a final speech to his crew before he goes on a Suicide Attack to destroy the Xindi superweapon before it can destroy Earth. Subverted, though, as he gets captured en route and is eventually returned to Enterprise — after he receives the Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique and Enterprise gets the crap kicked out of her.

In The Short Victorious War, Captain Helen Zilwicki is escorting a civilian convoy which includes her husband and daughter when a vastly superior enemy force appears. She nearly skips the chance to say goodbye, because she knows that the rest of the crew also have loved ones they'll never see again and can't call, but her officers convince her that no one will mind, under the circumstances.

Inside Out: After Bing Bong and Joy attempt to get out of the memory dump using the "rocket" twice and fail both times, Bing Bong tells Joy to try just one more time, because said character thinks it'll work this time. Before the rocket can take off, they jump from it, lightening the load enough for Joy to make it out. By the time Joy realizes what has been done, she's out and said character is still stuck in the dump. The two share some final words before Bing Bong fades away, with said character encouraging her to fix things.

An entirely wordless but still deeply moving example in Spider-Man 2. Before Dr. Octavius leaves to perform his Heroic Sacrifice, he looks back and shares a sorrowful, determined gaze with his former protege Peter, silently saying goodbye where there was no time for words.

In Dragon Age: Origins, the Warden is given a chance to say goodbye to their teammates before heading off to battle the Archdemon. Unless certain measures are taken beforehand (having your other Grey Warden party member (Alistair or Loghain die in your stead or concieving a child with Morrigan through her ritual or a strong bond, which will save everyone, even Urthemiel.), the Warden dies during the final battle, as his/her soul and the Archdemon's will destroy each other.
An additional one happens before the party delivers the killing blow to the Archdemon in the final battle. Alistair (or Loghain, if recruited) and the Warden must decide which of them is to die to neutralize the Archdemon's soul with their own. Whomever is chosen (unless Alistair is romanced, in which case he insists that it be him) gets a final goodbye in before charging the dragon. However, if you took Morrigan's deal or you have a strong bond with her before the battle of Denerim, no such scene takes place and the Warden always delivers the final strike, surviving thanks to the newly-concieved Kieran, who absorbs Urthemiel's soul instead of his father, saving his life in the process.

In Mass Effect 3, Shepard gets the opportunity to talk to almost all of their past party members just before the last battle in London, and Shepard later gets a heart-to-heart with Anderson as the latter dies from his injuries.

He tells his ex-wife over the radio that he only has five minutes of oxygen left, so he can't possibly make it back alive, and she starts to lose it. His last words to her are "I love you, wife." The aliens do save him, but that was an unexpected development.

In Chapter 122, Son of the Sannin, Maito Gai gets to share a few moments with his students, telling them how proud of them he is, before heading off to do one last stand against Madara Uchiha, using the Eighth Gate to match the latter's power. Despite their sorrow, they accept it needs to be done, and promise they will make sure his sacrifice won't be in vain and he'll be remembered.

Doctor Who: In "The End of Time" the 10th Doctor has received a lethal dose of radiation and will shortly regenerate (which he explicitly compares to dying), yet he finds the time to visit all his companions that are still in this reality one more time before he regenerates.

Dragon Ball:
During a brief pause in his losing battle against Majin Buu, Vegeta hugs his son Trunks and tells him that he loves him and Bulma and then promptly knocks Trunks and Goten unconscious to prevent them from attempting to intervene. He also speaks with Piccolo who informs him that he will most likely be going to Hell rather than paradise as Goku did before him. Once Piccolo and Krillin get the boys away, Vegeta goes through with his self-destruction gambit in an attempt to take Fat Buu with him. Just before Vegeta takes his dying breath he gives a heartfelt dedication to Goku.
And speaking of Goku, he too also delivers a final goodbye his son, though it is downplayed in comparison to the prior example given that time was a factor, before transporting himself and Cell to King Kai's planet to prevent the latter from succeeding in a self-detonation attack to kill billions of people.

In the South Park episode "Die, Hippie, Die", just as they are about to embark on a journey drilling through a dense hippie crowd, Randy Marsh says goodbye to Sharon, Linda Stotch says goodbye to Butters, Chef (the designated sacrificial black man) says goodbye to his women, and Cartman says goodbye to... his stuffed animal, Clyde Frog.

Stargate Atlantis: In the Season 1 finale battle John goes to fly a suicide mission but gets a final moment with his co-leader and friend Elizabeth who begs him not to do it. The pair spent the season protecting their city from every horror in the galaxy with only the other to depend on and you can literally see her break when she realizes his death is the only way to save their people. John waits and then...she lets him go. Major tearjerker.

Magick Chicks: Since Faith couldn't save all of her fellow council members from Cerise's spell circle, she elected to at least save her secretary, Sandi. Faith only had enough time to say a few parting words, before she and the others were mass teleported to their Uncertain Doom.

In Cyberpunk 2077, "Goodbye V, and never stop fighting" are Johnny Silverhand's final words to V, although in his case, he is long dead. This still counts, though, since in said scene, he sacrifices his one shot at a second life that he'd have gained by taking over V's body. However, V can also reverse the scenario and do this for Johnny, if they chose to give up their body after completing "(Don't Fear) The Reaper", the game's unlockable final mission (assumedly if you two have a high enough relationship). Johnny tries to stop V from crossing the bridge multiple times, before he eventually admits that he's scared for them while displaying some very anxious body language. V then offers a handshake goodbye, which Johnny reluctantly accepts. But when V tries to pull away, Johnny refuses to let go at first, holding their hand closer as he looks them in the eyes, before finally releasing it with an absolutely heartbreaking expression on his face. See it here for yourself.
