dantes85: I'm going to be wheeled off like Phil Lynott - full of morpheine, singing "I did it my way".
He never sang that and he died in absolute horror and misery...This boy is cracking up! Junkies do NOT have a good death and leave grief in their wake that lives on long after they die. Ask his widow Caroline, daughter of the alcoholic tv presenter, Leslie Crowther, and the young children he left behind just what kind of life he gave them.
I am hoping that by the time I am on my deathbed I wont care. I would only hope that I had been a decent person along the way and that I had treated others with respect and compassion. I am not a person that is hung up on material things in my daily life, I am happy and I have good friends and family. I would only regret if I had not treated others well...couldn't give a crap about the other stuff. I would regret if I had not picked good funeral music though....for the after party...also I would regret not being able to see the people who want to dance on my grave be so disappointed when they realized that I had been cremated!!
Seemingly these are 5 regrets that a lot of people have...
1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. Unfulfilled dreams remain the most common regret.
2. I wish I didn’t work so hard. Missing their children’s youth and their partner’s companionship is a major regret for males.
3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings. Suppressing feelings to keep the peace can lead to bitterness and illness. Speaking honestly makes healthy relationships and ends unhealthy ones.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying and many have regrets about not giving golden friendships the attention they deserved.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier. Happiness is a choice that is often suppressed. On your deathbed you care little of what people think but long to be able to smile again and be silly.

My mam always wanted to dance on her own grave so she bought a plot and did just that, she is delighted with herself
As for me as long as i have enough time to hire the wailers Then ill go happy enough
i cant say right now i regret anything like that list..
i think the only thing i will think of on my deathbed is that im not getting another 5/10/15 years with my babies..(even tho im hoping they are old n grey by then)
i dont regret anything ive done or not done up til now..i did everything for the right reason at the time..learned from most of it..
One of the toughest things I have found in life is to live in the 'Now'. Dwelling on the past can be counter productive and I used to dwell there. 'If only' was a common phrase used. The realisation that nothing can be done about the past took a while for me. We can learn from it but there is nothing we can change about it. It is. I even got a tattoo in chinese characters meaning 'No Regrets'. It has helped me. In short I don't plan on having regrets on my death bed.
No regrets. I try my best everyday have a good life, family, friends no point dwelling on the past it happened for a reason. Id be more likely saying 'You didnt break me down here God so beam me up and do your best in heaven' ha ha
