Avoiding Regret: 4 Key Steps

The Integrative Palliative Podcast

In the serious illness space, regret is rampant.
Caregivers often regret what they did or didn't do when caring for their loved one with cancer, dementia, or other life-limiting illness. Physicians and other clinicians may regret the goals of care conversations that we meant to have but didn't get around to.
Regret is terrible and its negative impact can linger long after the ill person has died. One of the key tasks in serious illness care is to help everyone involved avoid regret.
This week I discuss four steps that we can all use to help us, our loved ones, and our patients to avoid regret.
