The Sound of Silence: Regrets of Things Unsaid
The most haunting regrets are often not the words we shouted in anger, but the words we swallowed in fear.
关键要点
"Expressing unsaid words, even anonymously, provides the closure necessary to release the emotional burden of silence."

The Final Regret
In palliative care, nurses often report that dying patients rarely regret their actions. They regret their silence. They regret not saying "I love you," "I forgive you," or "I am sorry."
Breaking the Seal
It is never too late to break the silence. Even if the person is gone, writing the words down can release the burden. The Regret Wall is one such place to finally speak.
