Ever wondered what you’ll look back on and regret?
Author, blogger, musician and nurse Bronnie Ware counselled the dying in their final days.
She wrote The Top Five Regrets Of The Dying and more recently published a second book, Your Year For Change: 52 Reflections For Regret-Free Living.
The Australian spent several years working in palliative care, caring for patients in the last 12 weeks of their lives.
Here’s what she discovered were the most common deathbed regrets.
1. Wishing you had the courage to live life true to yourself, not the life others expected
This was the most common regret.
2. Wishing you hadn’t worked so hard
3. Wishing you had the courage to express your feelings
4. Wishing you stayed in touch with friends
5. Wishing you’d let yourself be happier

I feel the same way about my ex-husband. His selfishness, untruthfulness and game-playing ruined everything, hurt everybody in the family; he doesn't care. I regret marrying him.
Thank you so much for sharing that and for your kind words. My daughter refuses to discuss our falling out with anyone that knows me. Thanks again.
sorry for that- never easy to go through-
Thank you and per your question, yes, but to no avail.
I’m 65 and in crummy health, but like you, these aren’t it.
