the time to get that resolved. I know that in life, the only thing that's certain, taxes and death. Right, right. So having this kind of conversation with you was helpful for me in terms of really kind of sorting through some things.

You know what, San, I think that, you know, you talk about the uncomfortableness of it, you know, I think in the shared in her research, she talked about the fact that we have somewhat segregated death from ourselves in a certain kind of way is that, you know, when I was younger, I, you know, and you and I both seasoned, so, you know, death was, you know, sometimes people had people in their home that people, they died in their home.

But now people are dying in, you know, in hospitals. People are dying on their own. I mean, I don't know, euthanasia, I guess, it might be another word for it right now. Everything is so politically charged. But, you know, so we got all these kind of things. People don't like to talk about it because, as you just said, everybody feel like they're going to be immortal.

You see, okay, I'm going to say this. Okay, so you might not like me after I say this, but you see people who are very, very seasoned trying to look like they're very, very... Generation Z. Is that the last one, Z? I mean, like, come on. Come on, you old. I mean, we're old. So, I mean, let's keep it real.

But I also think this, is that the language that we use, you know, I'm talking to people right now, and all they talk about is people transitioning. You know, they don't want to say death. They don't want to talk about death. They want to talk about, oh, they transitioned.

i'm like okay where they transition to right you know but they won't say that and so i'm right and so i i in my personality and style and i think i have to be very honest about this in my personality and style i always tell people this everybody grieves differently so you can't you know you know a lot of times people think that we all when somebody dies we all go fall out we're going to

me, you know, crying, you know, I don't do that. I just sit and I just, and I will cry, but that's how I do it. And so no one can come to me and say, well, you didn't love that person. No, that's just how I grieve. I think that sometimes we don't give people permission to grieve in a way that's most appropriate for them without us having some judgmental thoughts about them.

And so I think when it comes to death, we need to have this conversation and people need to tell you, this is how I grieve. And so it ain't personal. I mean, it is personal. And so don't judge me because I don't grieve like you do.

You know, interesting enough, though, Stan, I mean, since you talked about your father, I'm going to tell a story about my mother's death. And again, I have always warned the listeners that I'm not being disrespectful. But my mother had relatives that, you know, she grew up with. And when...

when they came to the funeral, it's almost like, I don't know, I've read in Jewish culture, there are wailing women. Is that true? There are people that wail? I don't know. Some cultures, they wail. Yeah, those are in the, yeah, ultra-religious aspects. Okay, okay. Well, in my particular case, this relative almost pulled my mother's casket over you know, grabbing on it and wailing.
