Caregivers frequently sit with the dying at the end of their lives.They patiently listen through touching stories, great achievements and even some pretty heavy regrets.
Here are the top 5 regrets of the dying:
1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I didn't work so hard
3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish I had let myself be happier.
Actively working to live a life with purpose, working less when possible, pursuing relationships and happiness and resolving conflict will lead to fewer regrets later in life. We are here to help. Don't hesitate to reach out to us at 817-292-2250 with any questions.
