A couple of weeks ago I was forwarded a Guardian news article which really grabbed my attention titled "Top five regrets of the dying". The article quotes an Australian nurse who works in hospice care where people go in the final few weeks of their lives. What interested me is that the regrets are not related to achievement or influence, something most of us strive for all our lives. Instead the regrets are relationship orientated or connected with our hopes and dreams.
I think though that there is one very important regret missing from the list and that is not a regret related to the life that has been lived. In people's final moments they also have clarity that there is something they are going to.
