Once again, why we're talking about it is that there's just so many emotions and there's so many different ways in which to go about this that we think of health chatter as health chatter. We need to just open up the conversation so that if somebody is thinking about it or not thinking about it, perhaps we could provide them with some starting points.

But you know what, Shane, I want to say this. I want to say this though, Shane. You brought this up before. You talked about, I think your uncle died You know, there'll be a hole in your heart that will never.

But you know what, Shane, I want to say this. I want to say this though, Shane. You brought this up before. You talked about, I think your uncle died You know, there'll be a hole in your heart that will never.

And I think that for a lot of folk, they don't really process that like you did. You know, a lot of people, a lot of people, you know, hold on to that death, you know. 10, 15, 20 years in a way that I think is somewhat unhealthy at times. Okay.

I mean, I can't tell you how, again, I can't tell you how to grieve, but I think it's okay to not look at it as, you know, as a, necessarily as a disruptor, but as an opportunity to say, I had the opportunity to enjoy this person for whatever period of time that there was. I had a time to enjoy them. They brought joy into my life. I will miss them. But you don't have to agonize, I think.

I had a time to enjoy them. They brought joy into my life. I will miss them. But you don't have to agonize, I think.

And I want to put it like that. Again, this is my personal opinion. You don't have to agonize and beat yourself up for 10, 15, 20 years over something that you had no control over. Or you can't do anything about now. You can't do a thing about it.

I have, and I've seen things where, you know, I've had a cousin that drowned. And, you know, it's really a, it's a sad time. And I think that part of what happens, I mean, when you first started talking about the suicide piece, Sam, I thought about the fact that, you know, again, now we can talk about, you know, health. in this conversation because there's some people that are mentally unhealthy.

Yeah. And and there are some people that are struggling with some things that they feel like they just cannot overcome. Some people have chronic diseases and they want to just I want to end this. I mean, I'm just I'm just that tired. And I think that when you get to a point where you feel hopeless and helpless.

Or I'm ready.

Or I'm ready.

Yeah. Then you have to you have to people people make decisions that that we may not agree with. You know, or we may not understand, but the reality is that whatever they do is final. So the thing that I think about this conversation, and I go back to what Sheridan was saying earlier, was that you know, you need to have some kind of plan in place. You need to be, you need to talk to your folk.

I mean, the reality is that we don't want to talk about it and we don't have to have it as deep as what we're trying to do here. But, you know, you need to be letting people know like, hey, this is, you know, this is, this might happen. I might get, I might be in a car accident. If that happens, you know, this is what I want you to do, you know?
