Full Episode
Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Health Chatter. Today's show is on burial, funerals, and health, a trifecta of subjects here that certainly connect to one another. It can be a sad subject, it can be a happy subject, but we all deal with it. So we'll get to that in a minute. It'll be with our Health Chatter crew. We'll be talking about this. We all have a lot of experiences that we can share.

So thanks, everybody. So here we go. Let's talk about this subject today, burial, funerals, and health. So you know what? I think what maybe I'll do is I'll start this out with get a little bit of a personal reflection on this subject matter from all of us. Barry?
Yeah, I'd like to say I'm an orphan in terms of my, both my, you know, once your parents are gone, and my parents died, you know, in a good number of years ago in 1990 and 1993, my dad first and then my mom, and my in-laws also now have passed with, so they're all gone. And one of the things that
to me that that always is important is understanding that even though your loved ones are gone it doesn't end the relationship that you have with them or that you had with them it's different you know because they're they're not there and I think one of the fears that
that I used to have, but I figured out a way to get around it is I worry that I'm, you know, that I'm going to forget about them and forget about that relationship. And so for me, when, when I lose a loved one, I want to ensure a way that I can remember them. And, you know, like I said, I've done, you know, a show on ethical wills where you kind of leave your values and things like that.
So I always try and carry some legacy that, from loved ones. And that always rekindles the relationship and just makes it easier because the grief never totally goes away. It's always with you, this idea of get over it. It's more, how do you integrate yourself as a person with losses? Because all of us have losses
You know, through our lifetimes and some of it is, you know, losing, you know, losing loved ones. And that's what we're going to be focusing on. So my personal piece of that is how do you make it meaningful? Everybody grieves at their own rate and pace. And it just it doesn't go away. And the relationship doesn't go away either.
