Dr. Corinne Low

I hadn't been able to see her for months beforehand.

And then when she was actively dying, I went and I spent a week by her side.

And it was really ironic.

In that sense, I literally couldn't have gone for the prior six months to that because there was no plane travel.

And I only got the exception to go to her nursing home because she was actively dying.

And that's how I could enter her nursing home.

But it really drew into stark relief that it was like we make this mistake of crowding our expenditures, both time and money, right at the end of a person's life, right?

When we should be smoothing those out during these earlier periods when we're going to be able to create more memories and more meaning with that person.

And so just being a little bit rational about saying, like, if they were dying, would I buy this plane ticket?

Well, then it means maybe I should buy this plane ticket right now.

And so trying to make time and space for that.

And that is what we're going to be doing.

But he is in a different state.

And so we're also like in April, like me and all of my siblings, we're going to all meet up like where my dad grew up.

It's not where he lives right now, but he's going to come and we're all going to kind of meet up there because it's a fun place for our kids to be.

And, you know, so trying to figure out ways to and if it's the Florida vacation, yeah, maybe you bring your parents to Florida.

Right.

So how do you figure out to get what you want out of your life while also creating this meaning and memories together?

Thank you so much.

Thanks for having me.
