Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! · HTDE: Burritos and Handshakes · 29 Apr 2026 podcast

Look, I mean, there's kind of gradations of grieving and saying goodbye and sadness.

In the middle, there's lots of stuff going on for people and everybody has to say goodbye.

I think that's part of growing, saying goodbye to something, which means saying hello to something else.

Eulogizing it, meaning kind of composing something?

Yeah, I would not do a homily about a burrito.

But I might say, you know, you might say something to Rachel, right?

That maybe it would be good to write down the pleasant memories that were associated with that.

Because it can't be just the burrito.

I'm sure it's people she knew in the store and stuff that was going on in her life at the time.

And maybe people she ate the burrito with.

Just to recall those things.

There's a Jesuit prayer called the examination of conscience where you recall things.

You and St.

Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuits, said you savor them.

You actually savor them like you're savoring a meal.

And then you thank God.

So part of it's just kind of calling that to mind and maybe listing the things that you're grateful for in conjunction with that experience.

My pleasure.

Thanks for inviting me on.
