Why do we wait until flowers wither to appreciate their fragrance? In this powerful, intimate heart-to-heart conversation, I explore one of humanity's most puzzling tendencies – our habit of fully valuing people only after they've passed away.

Through personal observations and heartfelt musings, I unpack the strange phenomenon where someone becomes your "best friend" in death, despite rarely receiving your call in life. We examine how posthumous praise often contradicts our living actions, creating a world where people become saints, queens, and Mother Teresas only after they can no longer hear our admiration. This disconnect isn't just ironic – it's tragic.

The core message resonates with stark clarity: smell the roses while they're living. I challenge listeners to reflect on their own relationships and ask uncomfortable questions about who we're overlooking today that we might eulogize tomorrow. Who deserves your support, belief, and treasure right now? This isn't about performative appreciation but authentic connection while time still permits it.

This episode serves as both gentle rebuke and loving encouragement – a call to shift our attention from posthumous admiration to present appreciation. Break the cycle of delayed recognition. Reach out to someone important today. Write to me at [email protected] with your thoughts, and continue following these reflections on the Regina Swarn Audio Series Presents podcast. Don't wait until it's too late to show someone how much they matter.
