Five of the most frequent regrets people have expressed on the eve of death

No one mentioned the desire for more sex or thrilling adventure. A nurse who has stood by those who were at the end of their lives has recorded the most frequent regrets they have expressed at the end of their lives. And the most frequent pity, especially from men, was I wish I hadn't worked so hard.

Bronnie Ware is an Australian nurse who spent several years working in nursing care, caring for patients in the last 12 weeks of their life. It recorded their confessions before changing lives into a blog called “Inspiration and Chai”. But after the reader's great interest, she summed up her observations in one book called “Five regrets on the eve of death”.

Ware writes about the phenomenal clarity that people gain at the end of their lives and how we can learn from their wisdom, writes The Guardine, broadcasts Periscope.

When asked about any regrets they had or whatever they would do differently, it says, “in each of them regularly appear common themes”.

Here are the last five regrets or regrets of the dead, as testified by Ware:

1. I wish I could have the courage to live a real life for myself, not the life that others expected for me.

This was everyone's most frequent regret. When people realize that their life is almost nearing its end, and they see clearly their past, it is easy to see how many dreams have remained unfulfilled. Most people have not considered half of their dreams and now had to die knowing that all of this was because of the choices they had made or were not made. Health brings freedom that few understand until it is lost. “ 

2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard.

This came from all the male patients I took care of. They lacked the lost youth of their children and partners. Women also spoke of this regret. But most of them were an elderly generation. All the male patients I cared about were so sorry that so long and their lives could have gone to the daily routine.

 3. I wish I had the courage to express my feelings.

Many people suppressed their feelings to keep peace with others. As a result, they decided to live a mediocre update and never became those who were really capable of doing it. ”

4. I wish I'd stayed in touch with my friends.

“Often they would not really understand the full benefits of old friends until their last weeks. Many became so caught up in their daily lives that they allowed their golden friendships to go unnoticed over the years. There was much regret over the lack of friendship, time, and effort that friends deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they die. ”

5. I wish I had left myself happy.

This is surprisingly expressed to everyone. Many did not fully understand that happiness is a choice.” What is your greatest repentance so far, and what will you decide to achieve or change before you die? /Periscope.
