Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently?
I’m not sure how to address this since often I took action and regretted it. Often I needed to pause before I responded. But mostly this is with words.
But let me think back. Last year my dear sister died. She hadn’t looked well and had lost a lot of weight. Of course, she wasn’t much for doctors and it took my cajoling to get her there. Her doctor ordered a chest scan but it came back fine. No cancer. He told her he would see her in six months. She died two weeks later.
A part of me wished I had taken her in my car to an emergency room. Instead, we did nothing. She died on her couch sitting next to her husband.
So should I have taken action? I’m not sure. She died peacefully without tubes and tests or being a guinea pig for the doctors. It was peaceful! But I miss her and wish she had stuck around a little longer.

I am sorry for your loss. I don’t know if I would have done differently in your situation.

I was in Ireland when she died so I had no choice at the end. But it was the days prior to my trip. I think she waited to go so I couldn’t put her in a hospital.

The blessing is you did all you could in the moment. Things don’t always look the way we think they should. But your sister could have been spared so much pain and trauma. I lost my mom and mother-in-law to cancer. They suffered horribly. Her leaving peacefully is all anyone can ask for ❤️! Now shes watching over you!
