***Warning - This Episode Contains Conversations About Death***

The one certainty in life is death. And though we know it will always come, we can never get used to the grief it brings.

In this episode Jake shares the pain and guilt he carries for not taking advantage of every moment he's had with his closest loved who were taken far too soon. But as Jake shares, ask yourself, should he feel guilty? Or is he simply a human experiencing the joys and pains that come with life - and for this, there is no reason for guilt.
