Hello, everybody. Welcome to Health Chatter. Today's show is life lessons about death, which is kind of the opposite of health, I guess. But it's part of the health conversation for sure. And Clarence and I have some great perspectives that we're going to be talking to you about today. So stay tuned for that.
We've got a great crew that really drives us in a creative way and professional way, research way. Maddie Levine-Wolf, Aaron Collins, Deandra Howard do our background research, along with Sheridan Nygaard, who also does our marketing for us. So thank you to all of you. Then of course we have Matthew Campbell, without his technical expertise, we would be dead in the water. Okay.
No pun intended for this show, but he's got great expertise and thank you to all you guys. You're the best team that we could possibly have. Then of course, the best of all is Clarence. Clarence and I are having a great time doing this together. It's an opportunity that we've, we've taken advantage of that we've wanted to do for a long time is just chat about health.
And we've been doing it now for about a year and a half. This will be close to our 60th show. So it's been, Clarence, it's been just a treat, a treat working with you. So thank you, thank you, thank you. All right, so let's get going on today's show. Life Lessons About Death.
But I wanted our audience to know that this is going to be a really different kind of conversation and dialogue. And there are some things that we're talking about. Death is a very serious issue. But some of the things that we say might seem a little bit irreverent, but it's not meant to be that way. It's just meant to be about our experiences with it.
Yeah, and it's to get everybody thinking. And, you know, ironically... Health is, you know, health and death go together. Okay. So, and, you know, it's interesting, too, as you get older and we as human beings live longer than we did certainly in the past, it takes on different angles. And we'll get into that. All right. So... Boy, how do we get started on this? All right. So here you go.
Clarence, talk to me about a life lesson that you learned perhaps at a younger age, because we both had issues at younger ages where we had to address death. So let's hear your story.
All right. My first story is this. We can't have life without death. And so it's part of the process or the circle of life. And so therefore we should not be surprised at it. I think the thing that I've learned, one of the things I've learned about death is that it comes at different stages at different times for people. And we sometimes are angry,
because we feel like people did not have the opportunity to fully live their lives. But who's to know? I mean, I thought I never lived to be past 16. I mean, I honestly thought I would die before I was 16. And then I thought I would not live to be 21. But then one day I was 28 and I realized, oh, I'm getting old.
