I have read that regret is a symptom of depression. When I read a question like this my mind automatically goes back to losing my first husband and my son. It makes me think of all the things I wish I had done over the years, over those last few months, or just in general. I hesitate to answer this question because it just saddens me as it fills me with regret which leads to more heartbreak. I know that perhaps this question is not supposed to spark something so deep but it is where my mind goes and once that happens it is hard to think of little things.
