The Shawshank metaphor works remarkably well here - especially the distinction between going first and leaving behind not comfort but orientation. What resonates most is the recognition that this understanding came retrospectively, that we often don't recognize transformative demonstrations until we're ready to receive them. The line about hope arriving as orientation rather than comfort captures something essential about how we actually process grief and witness dignity in terminal illness. This feels less like a chapter about luxury real estate and more about the inheritance we don't choose but learn to carry.
Well. While I am a luxury real estate professional and that is part of what I am Jeanette died in 2013. Not sure at that time why I wrote the eulogy the way I did but we are 13 years in and I’m writing this out of final need. And these come out on Thursday. Monday I write about real estate or economics and starting real soon i am going to podcast tuesday and friday in these ideas. And while i am trying to write in a compelling way if i otherwise did not who would read it and maybe find something ? I get regular feedback if all kinds of things so i hope its helping.
