At toast Masters listened to an interesting presentation about people’s feelings about life at the end of their life.  Palliative care representatives had similar regrets in life. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

• Wish I could have accomplished some of my dreams.
• Wish I didn’t work so hard. (missed milestones in their life). You can fix this by simplifying your life.
• Wish I had the courage to express my feelings. Too tightly contained emotion can contribute to your health. Need to speak honesty to have an authentic relationship.
• Wish I had stayed in contact with my best friends. (life is about love and relationships.
• Wish I would have let myself be happier. Sometimes we let ourselves be held back by our worry what others think.

People want to look at the end of life and see it as complete.
