We are being fed this idea of fake happiness, false joy, that we're missing out on the actual living that we should be doing. We are humans doing, not human beings. And I think that work in the end of life research is so important, but nobody wants to look at that. Nobody wants to talk about death. We don't want to think about that.

by looking at those who are dying, who are close to death. And thank you for sharing that story. I know for you, that's a personal trauma to lose a sister before what should have been her time and to have a surviving niece. So that's very painful, but those stories are so necessary. We need those stories. We relate to those stories because it reminds us

to not miss out on the points of joy that are literally within reach. And I hope somebody hears that story and says, you know what? I'm not going to eat through my, I'm not going to watch a screen while I'm eating lunch. I'm not going to look at the television while I'm eating dinner.

I have another day to do that. I'm going to walk my dog a longer path today instead of rushing back to watch something on my phone or to watch a movie. I'm going to live life today. It really is that reminder because we get sent so many messages that distract us away from why we're really supposed to be here.

And the first step is validation, accepting how you feel no matter what. And that's good and bad.

And it's important because when human beings don't know how they feel, they're very stressed. It's almost as if you're in a dark room and something falls and it's a loud thud and you start running for the door because you don't know what it is. You turn the light on and you're like, oh, it was just like a picture frame. Like, it's not scary.
