You become more conscious of the people that you have around you because in this kind of society, you can increase your grief by who you hang around with. Exactly. So we're challenged now around this topic of taking a look at our grief at how then do we address it because we know that we have it.

I think the thing that that that that, you know, we're talking about is the fact that, you know, when people grieve, it does affect them. It affects their their health. It impacts the way that they respond to to questions of. It throws you off balance. I mean, I think we're talking about, you know, the physiological response to grief.

Yeah. I think saying sometimes too is that when we go through this period around grief, it helps us realize how precious life is. you know, and how we should value each day. I think so many times in this life, we get stuck on automatic pilot. You know, we just do things just to be doing things.

And we don't take advantage of the opportunities that we have to really enjoy those things around us and those people around us. And so sometimes it is in the grief that we have a a deeper appreciation for what we do have. You know what I mean? And so, you know, like you said, you know, you lost your, you know, your, your, your mother and your father.

I mean, but at the same time, it, it, it, it, it teaches you some things about how to appreciate those people that are in your life. You know, one of the things for me personally is that I just said, I don't want to live my life where, where I would ever say I wished I would have. You know, and I don't want to live my life in a way in which I owe somebody something before I die.

You know what I mean? Which is that I want to I want to try to, you know, you know, my personal philosophy is to try to. Can I grieve myself or grieve other folks in the life that I live? And so because I realize I realize how important it is for people to have. a semblance of some kind of sanity and some kind of peace.
