Top 5 Deathbed Regrets ( as collected by Hospice workers)
1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself,
not the life that other 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 that I had let myself be happier.
Deathbed regrets is a really great topic to think about, because given the awareness of other people's regrets, we can choose to live life to the full.
