I'm like, oh, this is crazy. But unfortunately, you know, but what was so funny was that some people said, oh, she really loved her. I'm like, you know, so I'm saying all this stuff to just say that people do things differently and we need to talk about that.

And I agree with you that we need to have this conversation and say, look, and this is what I told, this is what I told, okay, I'm going to tell you, really tell you the story, because that's what this is about. I told my wife, my family, that when I die, I only want two people to speak at my funeral. And after that, they can go out and have a party. Make me a tree. That's it.

Because my life, my life would have been lived. You know what I'm saying? And if you, if you're not nice to me while I'm alive, don't come to my funeral. So that's how I feel about it. So I'm sorry. Maybe I shouldn't be putting this out on the internet, but that's how I feel about it. If you don't like me, leave me alone.

All right.

All right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's a great reason for us having this conversation is that, you know, death is certain. You know what I mean? And so I believe that sometimes people feel like life has been unfair to them if somebody dies when they're 27, 28, you know. But I think that that is part of life. the price we pay for life. We just don't know when. And so we have to be prepared for that.

And that preparation gets into a variety of different things of how people see death, how people see the afterlife. I mean, all those kinds of things are things that are important for people to discuss. But from this perspective, I just think that for those of us who are alive, it's how do we support people during this period of time and how do we want to be supported during this period of time?

And so, like I said, Stan, what gets me sometimes is that people think that they know how I feel. People think that they will say things like, well, it's just time to go. People say some really, really strange things and so, But I think that it's important for us to talk about what could be said are things like, you know, I'm so sorry for your loss.

And as you just talked about, put a hand on the shoulder. Or just sit and be quiet. And don't have any opinion about this person other than the fact that you're there to support them. Or sometimes a hug.

Yeah, I was gonna say, I was listening to a young man who was talking about, actually talking about death this week. And he was talking about he had his fiance, somebody in his fiance's family died. And for two weeks, the whole family went over to his grandmother's, over her grandmother's house. And they stayed there, you know. And he could not get that.

Like, man, he said, you know, after two days, you know, I'm like, okay, you know. But there are some people that that's how they grieve. And so when we, you know, in this world in which we live, which is much more diverse than what we have ever, what we've ever, you know, what we've always talked about in the last 20, 30, 40 years.
