She applies the lessons she learns from patients to her own life
An end-of-life carer has opened up about her patients' biggest regrets, including not doing things for themselves and waiting for the "perfect time". Hadley Vlahos, 30, has worked as an at-home palliative carer for eight years, and has opened up about some of the "deathbed regrets" her patients have shared.
"They say that they wish they would have told people how much they loved them. How I applied that to my life is I might text a friend that I haven't seen for years and tell them that they still mean a lot to me, and I send those multiple times throughout the week." "I left her home to go to another house where the walls were falling down, and she was in the same hospital bed but all that mattered in the end was the people around caring for her. They were both dying no matter what their money situation was.
"He was looking back and thinking eight years was too long but then realised that eight years passes regardless. For many years I was taking these stories and applying them to my own life. That's why I love social media because these patients' messages are getting out there to so many people." "My family and I try to take a trip now every year instead of waiting for the future." One of the common things Hadley says she's told by her male patients is that they wish they'd spent less time at work and more time with family.
