Hospice Nurse Reveals Most Common Regrets People Have Just Before They Die

A hospice nurse has opened up about what she has learned having spent years caring for people who are on their deathbed.

Julie, who hails from the United States, stated that her personal experience has taught her that many people have the same regrets about their lives when they are about to pass away.

Julie, a hospice nurse who previously worked in Intensive Care for nine years, uses her TikTok account to educate people about death by sharing experiences she’s had on the job. Julie is also a motivational speaker.

In a TikTok video she posted to her account, she revealed the common regrets her patients have as they are dying.

Julie posted the video in the hopes that it would inspire people to make positive changes in their lives so that they would not have the same regrets when they look back on their lives.

The hospice nurse responded to a question which asked: “What kind of regrets do you hear? I feel like in the end, everyone’s going to have regrets of some sort.”

Julie explained there were top regrets people often confessed to when dying.

She said: “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.”

From her patient’s confessions, Julie said she has learned the following: “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.”
