Three sentences from ten thousand deaths

Connection Regret·All ages

Park Myung-hee, head of the hospice and palliative care team at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, has sat with roughly ten thousand deaths over thirty-one years. What she saw were mostly words that arrived late: I love you, thank you, I'm sorry. Say them now, she says, or they become the regret of your last moment. Postponing three sentences takes no courage at all. It only takes until one day you can't say them.

Say love you, thank you, and sorry without hesitating. If you don't do it now, it becomes the regret of your last moment.

— Park Myung-hee, hospice team head, Seoul St. Mary's Hospital
