About this Quote

This quote by Coco Chanel speaks with the power of regret and its capability to cause enormous discomfort. Guilt is a sensation of duty or regret for a wrong dedicated, and it can be a heavy burden to bear. When somebody passes away, the regret of the living can be overwhelming. It can be guilt for refraining from doing enough, for not being there, or for not having the ability to conserve them. It can be guilt for not having the ability to say goodbye or for not having the ability to make things right. Regret can be an effective emotion that can remain long after someone has died. It can be a continuous suggestion of the wrongs that were committed and the discomfort that was caused. Regret can be a challenging companion to have, but it can also be a suggestion of the value of living life to the fullest and treasuring the time we have with those we love.
