Once upon a time, I was a bedside nurse working on a pulmonary step-down unit in Brooklyn. It was a fast-paced environment focused primarily on caring for patients on life support. We often crossed paths with terminally ill patients & their family members who were navigating the most challenging times of their lives. In the final chapter of their journeys, they shared invaluable wisdom that I will always hold close to my heart.

Many of the lessons I have learned are captured perfectly in Bronnie Ware’s book-The Top Five Regrets of the Dying – A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing.

As we step into a new year, we find an opportunity for deeper reflection. I encourage all of us to draw from the wisdom gathered from their experiences.
