Nurse at palliative care reveals the top 5 regrets of people right before they died

4.“I Wish I had stayed in Touch with my Friends”

As days pass by, our priorities change. However, one thing we should never allow to happen is to get distant from the people who once meant the world to us. According to Ware, she has witnessed people regret not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved.

“Often they would not truly realize the full benefits of friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down,” she wrote.

5. “I Wish I had let myself be Happier”

What most of us need to understand is that happiness is a choice.

“Fear of change had them pretending to others and to their selves that they were content, when deep within, they longed to laugh properly,” Ware wrote of many of her dying patients. We should never let fear stand on our way to feel happy and do the things that make us content.

“In the end we only regret the chances we didn’t take!”
