Nurses, palliative staff and caregivers frequently sit with the dying at the end of their lives. They hear it all. They patiently listen through touching stories, great achievements and even some pretty heavy regrets.
Here are the top 5 regrets of the dying:
1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I didn't work so hard
3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish I had let myself be happier.
Actively working to live a life with purpose, working less when possible, pursuing relationships and happiness and resolving conflict will lead to fewer regrets later in life. Don't hesitate to reach out to us with any concerns or questions. We are here to help.

When experiencing a loss, it's helpful to have a few ideas that help to feel better right away. Here are a few tips.
1. Address stress. Unfortunately, stress accompanies grief. Pause, take a few breaths, stand up, touch your toes, and see what stresses can be let go today.
2. Text, call, email a friend and share feelings. Does that seem too hard? Instead ask them how they are feeling, what’s new in their lives. Reaching out to a good friend, even the smallest, friendliest act, can lighten a mood.
3. Write a loved one a letter. Even without sharing the letter with anyone, just writing it can help to work through grief.

Hospice care is the model of high-quality, compassionate care that helps patients and families live as fully as possible. We think Patch Adams said it best, "Our job is improving the quality of life, not just delaying death."
Has a hospice worker helped a loved one? Let us know how they helped improve quality of life.

Osborn’s Family History
The story of the Osborn’s service to their community started long before they were in the funeral business. This beginning of this family’s journey dates back in England, where Thomas Osborn (grandfather to Joan and Diane) became quite the renowned shoe maker. It was during the iconic Gold Rush, that word of his exquisite shoe making got around and he was contacted by a fellow to come to Dawson city, in the Yukon, and make shoes for all the miners. It was his decision then to say yes, and travel by boat, train and walked for days to make a name for himself and his family. After the Gold Rush subsided, Thomas made his way down the coast to Vancouver, where he convinced his long time love Emily Green, to move from England to be his wife.
After they wed, Emily blessed Thomas with 2 little mouths to feed, son Leslie and daughter Irene. In 1932, they moved their growing family and business to the rural community of Haney, where Thomas bought property on 224th (then 8th avenue) and he opened Osborn’s Shoe Store.
Leslie (Les) grew up in the shoe business, often in the shop alongside his father, helping and learning the tricks of the trade, and took over the family business in 1952. Les always had a passion for serving his community, something that he came by honestly.
