Hospice Nurse Shares Common ‘Death Bed’ Regrets
This hospice nurse regularly provides care for people who are on the verge of passing away. It’s the type of experience that is sure to change a person and she is no different.
She’s learned so much about the human spirit from these experiences and now she is sharing her insights with the rest of us. Julie shares this wisdom on her TikTok account.
“What kind of regrets do you hear? I feel like in the end, everyone’s going to have regrets of some sort,” someone asked her and she was quick to answer. reads a question that she received recently.
Unlike many, who might try their best to talk around this question, Julie is facing it head-on. In fact, she provided the top five regrets that many of her patients express when they know that their time is almost up.
“Most people at the end of their lives have regrets about not appreciating their health. Not appreciating being alive, the little things. Working their life away. And not spending more time with family,” she says.
Julie has learned a lot from what these patients have to say. They have taught her so much and she is imparting these lessons to the viewer at home now.
“Be in the moment, live presently, be grateful, don’t take for granted your health, and little things about living life. Don’t work your life away if you don’t have to, or make it so you don’t have to. Spend time with those you love, not necessarily family, but those you love and make you feel loved,” she says.
The viewers were definitely grateful for the advice, as were we. Sometimes, it is nice to get a wake-up call about the way that you are living.
We could all stand to make some improvements in that regard. For us, we tend to struggle with being mindful and remaining in the moment.
