Regret…If Only I Had

Regret is one of those emotions you most likely will experience during grief.  You might have regrets over things you wish you would have said or done while you had the chance, you have that thought – “If only I had….”  this thought will probably persist until one day you come to terms with the fact you couldn’t have done anything differently.  The thoughts of regret are really harmful and you must know you can change the past, but you have the future filled with new possibilities and opportunities to tell anyone you choose how important they are in your life now.  Look at the future as a new slate, a chance to begin anew and create new beginnings.

Here’s a wonderfully inspired quote about living now.

“You don’t get to choose how you’re going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you’re going to live. Now.”

–Joan Baez
