Death at all ages is natural, but we just don't in any way view it that way.

It's also a thing for me when I talk to people whose family has died, and I think it's for many of us, where we're like, we almost don't want to bridge that topic with them.
voice-verified
You know?
voice-verified
But all the
voice-verified
then wants to do, like a high school friend of ours who, she passed away, and I was talking to her dad recently.
voice-verified
I saw him at a coffee shop, and he's like, oh, no, I want to talk about her.
voice-verified
I love to talk about it and say her name whereas I was afraid to say her name she does this and then I love talking to the young kids about her and all this stuff we so much don't want to share or are afraid to share it whereas it's such a we don't talk we don't talk about it
voice-verified
not to be morbid but then if you have these thoughts like how do you want I don't know when your life is complete do you have those thoughts for yourself how do you want to be treated what's going to happen to you
voice-verified
Well, recently we were just talking about it with my dad and stuff because we were talking about a trust and setting up a trust for me.
voice-verified
And my dad, you know, he's like, well, you know, say you go down in a fiery plane crash.
voice-verified
We're all like, whoa, dad, no.
voice-verified
Then the money will go to Olivia and Adriana.
voice-verified
But say all three of you go down in a fiery plane crash.
voice-verified
More often than not, all five of us are in a plane together.
voice-verified
And if that happens, then
voice-verified
so he talks very openly like about it i think but whereas our mom is like michael michael stop no don't
voice-verified
stop don't like you know so i don't think we do talk about we but we've had to talk about it for these reasons of yeah if this happens which is always possibility in life what's the next thing that's gonna go on and i think we we start like okay if you talk about it this blah blah this might happen but again as we refer me to your book death is natural it's good to just talk
voice-verified
and to get it out.
voice-verified
And I think we also learned so much, so we sorted things out.
voice-verified
And that way, what I want, Olivia's going to set up a really good ceremony of life for me.
