Earlier this year, Julie appeared on the podcast <em>Disruptors with businessman and author Rob Moore, where she offered deeper reflections on her work. The episode, released on July 15, gave listeners a rare glimpse into what she has learned from witnessing \u201chundreds\u201d of people pass away during her career, which began in the Intensive Care Unit before transitioning to hospice care.\n<p>Julie&rsquo;s years of experience have granted her a profound understanding of life&rsquo;s final stages\u2014an experience few encounter firsthand. Through this, she has identified two recurring regrets that people commonly express as they near the end of their lives.\n</p><p>Speaking to Moore, she revealed the first regret: \u201cPeople often wish they hadn\u2019t spent so much time working.\u201d While this sentiment is relatable, it\u2019s also a difficult balance to achieve given life\u2019s financial obligations.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-46615 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/12%5C/467375729_584547141188151_9016112450629063284_n.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1440\"' height='\"1053\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>The second regret, however, is even more common and highlights an area where many of us have greater control. Julie shared, \u201cThe main thing people say, that I don\u2019t hear a lot of people mention, is, \u2018I wish I would have appreciated my health.\u2019\u201d\n</p><p>Health is often taken for granted when everything feels fine, but illness\u2014whether a mild cold or something much more severe\u2014can swiftly remind us of its value. Having witnessed these regrets repeatedly, Julie has sought to apply her patients\u2019 wisdom to her own life. She now writes a nightly \u201cgratitude list\u201d to reflect on the small but significant blessings often overlooked.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-46614 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/12%5C/462584123_1284643972814956_104783272520832778_n.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1440\"' height='\"1014\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>\u201cI like the fact that I can breathe, I\u2019m walking around, I can feel the sunshine\u2014little things like that,\u201d she explained. \u201cI think the biggest thing I hear from people [who are] dying is that they wish they would have appreciated how well they felt before.\u201d\n</p><p>Julie is also candid about why she\u2019s committed to speaking openly about death. \u201cI believe that people should know about the dying process before they\u2019re actually going through it with a loved one or themselves,\u201d she said.\n</p><p>Through her work, Julie hopes to reshape how people perceive and approach death\u2014an inevitable yet profoundly meaningful part of life.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>A hospice nurse dedicated to alleviating fears around death has shared some of the most common reflections and wishes people express in their final moments.
