The Patrick Madrid Show: October 24, 2024 – Hour 3

Patrick explores the most common regrets shared by hundreds of people in their final days. Many wished they had kept in touch with friends or not spent so much time focused on work. These reflections offer valuable lessons: live in the present, treasure your relationships, and release the burdens that don’t truly matter.

 

  • Patrick shares a story of someone who asked 100s of elderly people the biggest regrets they had on their deathbeds (00:54)
  • Patrick and Cyrus on the importance of living in the present and cherishing every moment with loved ones.
  • Karen – End of Life: Be present at all times to everyone. I was more present to my husband and it made the world of difference. He passed away a few years later and I was thankful I could love him well before the end. (19:43)
  • Jim – My kids are in their 30s and 40s and I still tell them I love them. I’d like to share a story basically a rip off of Cats in the Cradle called Father and Son. (25:04)
  • Marta – I have an aunt who I was estranged from. She is now bed ridden. Can she receive the Anointing of the Sick even though she is using marijuana edibles?
  • Patrick shares a personal story of regret and not saying something he should have (36:08)
  • Marie – When I was in college, I had this need to hear “I love you” from my parents. I would call them every week and would always be afraid to say I love you. Eventually I built up the courage and it really transformed our relationship. As children, we can initiate that with our parents.
  • Gabby – I lost my wife a few years ago unexpectedly. I could see her growing in her faith a few years before she died. We have some special needs kids and I could not handle taking care of them without the support of my daughter.
