And there is nothing dignified about having to be hospitalized because they forgot to take their medications, or they fell on…

So she wrote the popular book The Top Five Regrets of the Dying. Ware believes the book resonates with people as a reminder that we “only have a limited time to live the life we choose ourselves.” She believes it “gives people permission to change direction.
