The 9 Most Common Regrets People Have At The End Of Life

1. They wish they had been more loving to the people who matter the most.


Many people expressed sorrow for not having been more understanding, caring, and present for the people who were important to them. They wished they had the courage to say "I love you" more often.


Why do you think people find it difficult to express love to those closest to them?

In your culture, how do people show love and care without actually saying "I love you"?

2. They wish they had been a better spouse, parent, or child.


The people I worked with often regretted taking their families for granted. After all, once they got terminally ill, it was their families who stuck by them to hold their hand, provide love and companionship, and care for them around the clock.


What do you think makes family relationships so easy to take for granted?

How can people balance being honest about family problems while still showing gratitude?

3. They wish they had not spent so much time working.


Many had worked long, hard hours, and they regretted missing the important moments in their kids' lives. I remember one such person—a salesman whose boss expected him to travel three weeks each month when he had a young daughter at home. Although he was an excellent provider for her, he never got to know her well. As she became older, he tried to form a relationship with her, but it was too late to make up for lost time.


Do you think work-life balance is getting better or worse in modern society? Why?

To what extent does being a "good provider" can become harmful to family relationships?

4. They wish they had taken more risks.


Many felt that a fear of failure caused them to play it too safe. They knew that they could have had richer, more fulfilling lives had they taken some risks and disturbed the status quo.


What's the difference between a healthy risk and a reckless decision?

Can you think of a time when playing it safe actually led to regret rather than security?

5. They wish they had been happier and enjoyed life more.


Most people regretted the time they wasted worrying about things beyond their control. They didn't realize they were capable of choosing fun and happiness until it was too late.


Why do people spend so much time worrying about things they can't control?

Is happiness a choice, or does it depend on circumstances?

6. They wish they had lived their dream.


Many people's lifelong dreams went unfulfilled because they were too concerned with trying to live up to someone else's expectations.


Whose expectations do people most often try to live up to - parents, society, or their own?

Is it ever too late to pursue a dream you've put aside?

7. They wish they had taken better care of themselves.


Most patients thought that if they'd eaten better, slept more, and paid more attention to their health and well-being, they might not have gotten sick. They wished they had made self-care more of a priority.


Why do people often prioritize everything else before their own health?

What's one small health habit that could make a big difference over time?

8. They wish they had done more for others.


I heard countless wishes from people who dreamed of making a difference through kindness, compassion, and acts of service. Many patients made the decision—oftentimes right from their hospice beds—to donate their money to charities and service organizations so they could positively affect the lives of others after they were gone.


Does helping others make people happier, or is it just something we're told we should do?

What stops people from being more generous with their time and money?

9. They wish they had chosen more meaningful work.


Many expressed that they had never enjoyed their job but had stuck with it year after year to pay the bills. They wished instead that they had chosen work that was in line with their purpose and passions—work that they were excited about and gave them a sense of fulfillment.


How can someone figure out what "meaningful work" means to them personally?

Is it realistic for everyone to have a job they're passionate about, or is that just for a lucky few?
