Unilad; by Niamh Shackleton; 4/24/24
Bronnie Ware, a nurse who has spent a large majority of her career working in palliative care, found that there were five common things that people regretted about their lives upon reflection as they approached death.
- I wish I hadn't dedicated so much of my life to working so hard. ...
- I wish I'd lived my life the way I wanted, not how others expected me to behave. ...
- I regret losing touch with so many of my friends. ...
- I wish I'd been brave enough to express my feelings more. ...
- I wish I'd let myself be happier. ...
Bronnie says, as per Metro Online: "Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness."
