For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their  lives. People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality.

I learned never to underestimate someone’s capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance.

“Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them.”

When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again.

Here are the Five Most Common Regrets People Express On Their Deathbed:

#5. I Wish That I Had Let Myself Be Happier.

This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had  stayed  stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of  familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical  lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to themselves, that they were content. When deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again. When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long  way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.

“Life is a choice. It is YOUR life.
Choose consciously, choose wisely,  choose honestly . . . Choose happiness.”
