In Memory Of A Friend + Learning From Loss

There are so many things we are equipped to feel through in life. Some trivial and some serious. We are often subject to situations or challenges that test the boundaries of what we are able to handle both emotionally and spiritually. We can lose our jobs, witness the ending of a relationship we’ve invested so much of ourselves into, we can find ourselves in heated conversations with those who share contrasting viewpoints on life. All of which seem hardwired into the human experience, and as difficult as it may be to experience these situations, they often teach us very valuable lessons about the world in which we live.

Collectively, these seem to be situations we tend to find our way through. Though, when it comes to abruptly losing someone we love through illness, we are seldom prepared to feel the grief, sadness and heartbreak of such an event.

The irony of death is that it is an integral part of our humanness, yet we deliberately deny its existence in our every day lives, and with good reason ; mostly. Of course, it doesn’t seem productive to spend our days contemplating the inevitable, though it can be harmful for us to pretend that it doesn’t exist in a reality where it very much does. So what is the solution? It seems a much larger conversation needs to be had of how not to deny death, but to develop a somewhat healthy understanding of why it exists.

I had a dear friend pass away from cancer 5 years ago. A friend that none of us would have ever imagined would leave our world so abruptly. A day prior to recording this episode his partner held an anniversary event to share a book of short stories that she had published as a way to commemorate his legacy and passing. In this episode we reflect on the book, the stories shared within the book and the teaching he left behind for all of us. This episode is in memory of our dear brother Harvey Perez.
