People at end of life commonly express three core regrets: they wish they had been more authentic and true to themselves rather than living according to others' expectations, they wish they had taken bolder risks and moved more rather than staying in the status quo, and they wish they had expressed love and maintained connections with people from their past.

“People often wish that they had been more true to themselves, not live the life that others maybe wanted for them... they wish that they had taken bolder risk... they wish that they had the chance to say I love you one more time.”
