Listeners Respond: Things You Would Have Said

The Takeaway

Over the last few days, we’ve been asking our listeners, “If you could go back and say something to someone in your past – an ex, an old boss, a deceased loved one – what do you wish you could tell them?” We’ve discovered that it’s a question that strikes quite a nerve.   We spoke to Jackie Hooper, who explained why. Jackie is a life coach and the author of “The Things You Would Have Said.” Three years ago, she started asking people what they wish they’d said to the old friends, former teaches, bosses, or beloved relatives they never quite spoke their mind to. Today we’re sharing some of the most poignant stories from our listeners.
