10 Things

When you die, will you have any regrets?

When you die, are you going to have any regrets?

Will there be things that you wish you had done, things you wish you had said – anything that in your last days on Earth you would look back on and ask yourself, “what if…”?

This is more than just fulfilling a Bucket List.  This is about closure.

Bronnie Ware is an Australian nurse, specializing in caring for dying patients, those in the last few weeks of their lives.  Over the years, she has spent much time talking with and comforting her patients, listening to those last few words that they had to share.

The Top Five Regrets of the Dying:
A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing

 Bronnie has taken these words of wisdom and COMPILED THEM INTO A BOOK entitled THE TOP FIVE REGREST OF THE DYING.

Over those years, she discovered a common thread running through all of her charges’ words.  Here are the Top 5 items that they shared:

  • I wish I had the courage to live true to myself
  • I wish I hadn’t workd so hard
  • I wish I had expressed my feelings
  • I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends
  • I wish I had been happier
