Top 24 Things Dying People Regret On Their Deathbed
If you died tomorrow, would you have any regrets?
Anything you wish you would have done differently?
Any risk(s) that you wish you would have taken?
Any loved ones that you wish you had spent more time with?
Well, you aren’t alone.
The vast majority of people on their deathbed wish they had done things a little bit differently.
Regarding death regrets, I really enjoyed reading a book that discusses the topic by Matthew Kelly called, Resisting Happiness.
In the book, he reveals what he learned from having lunch with hospice nurses after he asked them the most common things dying people tell them they wish they could change.
Here they are.
