                            A nurse who worked with people in their last moments has shared top 5 regrets they shared on their deathbeds

                            The first regret is spending too much time working instead of with family and friends

                            Men, traditionally the breadwinner, especially have this regret

                            The second regret is not living life according to their own dreams but others' expectations

                            This regret is about not fulfilling one's true potential, nurse Bronnie Ware said

                            The third regret is letting friendships fade away over time

                            Many of the patients she spoke to accepted that friendships require efforts to maintain

                            The fourth regret is not being brave enough to express one's true feelings

                            This can lead to bitterness and a life unfulfilled, as per Ms Ware

                            The fifth regret is not allowing oneself to be happy
