Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

I don't know why, but a lot of the television shows that I've been watching lately

have included a lot of funerals. I have seen, I swear in like three to four nights of television,

three to four different funerals from very different shows. of different

shows from different shows from different eras, different people, different ages,

and if you've listened to this podcast for a while,

you know that I love thinking about death I love

thinking about regret I love imagining myself at a ripe old age I hope I'm

lucky enough to get there and then pondering what 85-95-year-old me will think and feel.

And then, you know, really what happens from there when we abandon our physical form.

It's the eternal mystery, and it's something that I think is so wonderful to meditate on from time to time to really enjoy the present moment that we're in to maximize it and to really help the temporary nature of life just

come back to the forefront of our minds so that we enjoy our life experience and

we maximize it. But it's interesting, you know, observing these different funerals, I feel like I'm getting a message for the podcast right now because these, I'm just sharing my thoughts. I'm sharing my thoughts on these shows and the funerals because you know you see them often they

can be these grand affairs with lots of people or they can be maybe slightly more sad affairs

where there's just one or two people depending on how and where and the

circumstances of that the circumstances of that person's life. But observing

these funerals, right? You see them they they vary in how they appear, and then there's often a small gathering, right, or a big gathering depending on that person's life after the funeral.

And in one of the television shows that I was watching, there's a funeral, there's the wake, and then one man says to another man who was related to the woman who died, he said,

so have you thought about that deal yet? And he was talking about a business

deal that was in the mix that had clearly just hadn't been spoken about at the funeral or

prior because of this person's death. And this man said,

you're speaking about that now here? And he's like, yeah, of course. You know, life goes on. We've got a focus.
