If you are a senior facing the last chapter of your life, how do you get the most out of it? Treat it as sacred and make it an adventure! “To understand the sacredness of your time and to realize the power that lies in the decisions you make, it helps to learn from those who have gone before you, from those who have not made the right decisions and have spent their deathbed days in the anguish and pain of regret.” Regrets of the dying include these five wishes:
1. I had lived a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me
2. I had not worked so hard
3. I had the courage to express my feelings
4. I had stayed in touch with my friends
5. I had allowed myself to be happier
- Adapted from “The 5 Most Common Regrets of the Dying—and What We Can Learn From Them. Bronnie Ware, a former palliative care nurse and bestselling author, shares the five most common regrets of the dying—and her advice on how to live a life full of happiness and joy.” By Bonnie Ware, Stylist, December 31, 2020.
