End of Life Regrets
The loved ones whom I tried to comfort and support during the final days of their life shared one thing in common - they all had regrets. No doubt, so will I.
Being human and therefore, fallible, we sometimes make mistakes and exhibit poor judgement and bad behavior. We can and should regret some things we have done. What we should not have to do during the final hours of our existence, and for which there is no excuse, is regret not having done things we wanted to do, could have done, and should have done, but did not. Just do them!

Wise words Jim but I also think we sometimes may regret things we have done or said. The balance is the thing, isn't it, what to say or do what not to say or do, one can only be true to oneself and sometimes we have to suffer the consequences of our actions which we felt duty-bound to take.

James,
I agree with your assessment. Recognizing and regretting past mistakes and bad behavior, and being willing to accept responsibility for them is what separates a good person from a bad person.
Thank you for remaining a long-time follower of the blog and taking the time to opine and critique the subject matter.
