Some common deathbed regrets that should worry you

deathbed regrets

By Sahana Dutt

What are the common deathbed regrets that people have as they await their inevitable death?

This is a question that often comes to my mind. What is it that I will regret most when I reach that stage?

All of us live different lives; some feel fulfilled at a life well lived. Others feel frustrated that they did not get enough time.

Or do they? How can one find out?

It was therefore a great learning for me when I stumbled across an article written by Roman Russo on the Optimal Happiness website.

The article titled Top 21 Deathbed Regrets & Life Lessons From the Dying is based on the experiences and learnings of Bronnie Ware, a nurse who worked in palliative care. As part of her job, she provided relief and support to patients in the last stages of their life.

Nurse Bronnie Ware found that some deathbed regrets continued to figure in the reflections of most of the dying. She compiled a list of these regrets that have been reproduced by Roman Russo in this article.

The 21 regrets are:

1: Not spending enough time with loved ones

2: Not allowing oneself to feel happy

3: Not pursuing one’s dreams

4: Not living a life true to oneself

5: Not taking more risks

6: Not spending enough time in nature

7: Not staying in touch with old friends

8: Not learning another language

9: Not being more grateful

10: Working too much

11: Not traveling more

12: Not making better choices

13: Worrying too much overall

14: Worrying too much about what other people think

15: Not being persistent enough

16: Not trusting intuition enough

17: Not letting go of bitterness and grudges

18: Not comparing oneself to others

19: Disregarding physical health

20: Disregarding mental health

21: Not being more spiritual

I am sure some of these regrets will strike a chord in you also. If you still have time, then you must reduce your regrets.
