Having a regret-free life and death

David Hahklotubbe is a Death Doula and Gerontologist, as well as a motivational speaker.  Death Doulas serve people who are about to die, their families and loved ones.  Their goal is to provide counseling, wisdom, and peace of mind, as well as practical help for families and loved ones navigating the practical aspects of dealing with this life transition.

Based on his experience witnessing over 1000 deaths, David believes that the worst pain many suffer at death is regret — regret at wishes and goals not pursued, relationships not healed, etc.  So as a motivational speaker and author, David Hahklotubbe advocates for living the lives we truly wish for, while we still can.  And he imparts his wisdom about how to have a “good” death.

In this interview with Andrew Schoneberg, David shares that many people have communications from loved ones who’ve recently passed.  He says if we are open to it, this is a common occurrence, and evidence that consciousness doesn’t end at death.
