\nNurse Reveals the Top Five Regrets People Make on their Deathbed<\/em><\/span>
\nby Bonnie Ware:<\/span><\/p>\n

“For many years I worked in palliative care.\u00a0 My patients were those who had gone home to die.\u00a0 Some incredibly special times were shared.\u00a0 I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives.\u00a0 People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality.<\/span><\/p>\n

I learned never to underestimate someone\u2019s capacity for growth.\u00a0 Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the most common five:<\/p>\n

1) I wish I\u2019d had the courage to be true to myself, not the life others expected of me.<\/strong>
\n2) I wish I didn\u2019t work so hard.<\/strong>
\n3) I wish I\u2019d had the courage to express my feelings.<\/strong>
\n4) I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.<\/strong>
\n5) I wish that I had let myself be happier.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is powerful information Bonnie shares from her experience.\u00a0 Life goes by so quickly. <\/span>
\nFollow your truth and express your highest potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make every moment count.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
