    The Top Five Regrets of the Dying

    By John H. Sklare, Ed.D / May 04, 2012

    If the unthinkable was to become true today and you learned that you only had three months to live, what would you regret the most about your life and what would you do differently if you had the chance?

    I thought about this question as I watched a news story on TV the other day. Even though the story was about death, it was an enlightening and inspirational report about a hospice nurse named Bonnie Ware, who spent time with dying patients during the last 12 weeks of their lives. She even wrote a book about her experiences called The Top Five Regrets of the Dying (Hay House).

    Ms. Ware discovered common themes regarding the regrets these people voiced at the end of their lives. Here are her top five, along with a short commentary from her:

    1. I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

    "This was the most common regret of all. When people realize that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honored even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. Health brings a freedom very few realize, until they no longer have it."

    2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard.
    "This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children's youth and their partner's companionship. Women also spoke of this regret, but as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence."

    3. I wish I had the courage to express my feelings.

    "Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result."

    4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
    "Often, they would not truly realize the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying."

    5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.
    "This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realize until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called 'comfort' of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content, when deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again."

    There are two things that strike me most about this list. First, it's incredibly simple, because nothing mentioned here is physically difficult to do. Second, these items are free and available to everyone regardless of your social status or purchasing power.It turns out that what's really important in this life doesn't cost a cent, has no physical limitations and is available to everyone. Unfortunately, as this story points out, most people realize this too late in their lives and only come to terms with it when faced with their own mortality.

    So today, at the risk of sounding a bit morose, I ask you to think about your life as if you were about to lose it. In that unthinkable and uncomfortable frame of mind, what is it that you would regret most if you were about to reach the end of your time?

    There's a lot to be learned from the wisdom of those who are about to lose their lives.

    I hope my message today will serve as a wake-up call for you and that you will choose to not wait until it's too late to create the life you truly want to live.
    Take Action:
    • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost its case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customer base. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard?
    • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
    • Pass a LGBT friendly ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
    • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
    • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating money to anti-gay groups.
    • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
    • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
    • "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC re-new the clown's show after he pulled such hateful shenanigans?

    And Now, Our War of the Fittest!

    This group is called "Peckers Pics." The English - slang definition of "pecker" is to pluck at the truth. Therefore, we peck at items such as Gay Men's Health, Male Fitness, Gay (LGBT) Politics & Issues. In this section you may peck at each photo in order to decide the winner of the "war of the fittest!" Whereas, you should select the "Male Athlete" that may inspire you to exercise and "get fit!" Warning: This may stoke you!

    The map of gay marriage
    Politico / May 4, 2012 / By CHARLES MAHTESIAN

    With North Carolina set to vote Tuesday on a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, Stateline has produced a terrific map and graphic on the gay marriage landscape.
     
    Of the 33 times states have voted on gay marriage ballot measures since 1998, opponents of gay marriage have won 32 times. But the bulk of those votes took place between 1998 and 2006 -- and polls have shown increased support for same-sex marriage in recent years.

    Aside from North Carolina, the issue will be tested in Minnesota later this year and possibly as many as four other states.

    What's striking about the Stateline map is the coastal breakdown -- the tell-tale sign of the red state/blue state sensibilities. The states that allow gay marriage are clustered in the Northeast, with Maryland as a possible new addition. On the West Coast, Washington and California rank as states where same-sex marriage is designated as "in limbo."

    Washington, like Maryland, will allow gay marriage unless voters overturn laws in November. In California, a federal court overturned the state's ban but an appeal is pending.

    The entire interior of the nation does not allow gay marriage, with the exception of Iowa, where a 2009 state supreme court decision permitted it.
     

    Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
