Episode 38: Jacqui Clark
As grim as it may sound, passing and death are things that one needs to prepare for in life. This doesn’t only talk about wills, managing inheritance, and such. To prepare for such a thing is to be comfortable with life in every aspect, including the possibility of dying. With that opened sense, one begins to truly live life and not just live life through until the last breath.
In this episode, Jacqui Clark explains the most overlooked fundamental need of financially and legally preparing for death and how this affects not only the person going but also the many close relations surrounding the individual.
As a certified Senior Advisor assisting families through assisted living and memory care communities, Jacqui talks to us about the practices of aging well and what one can do in life to live it more valuably and well, aside from just enduring and existing in the years.
Join Jacqui in this rich and filling episode and hear more insights that help us find our way to a more graceful and wise journey through getting old, either in the face of life or of death.

Jacqui Clark’s quotes:
“Everyone has the right to die the way they want to.”
“An 82-year-old man told me, “Nobody tells you about how hard it is to age.””
“Routine is not good for the brain, but learning new things does wonder.”
“When you make life not about you, you start having a better life.”
“If you’ve ever been poor, it’s not easy to take the poor out of your soul.”
“Grace said, “I had to decide to either be happy or find the funny in things.””
“It’s always about the message. Listen to the message and not the delivery. If the message is about healing and making people better, how can you not listen to it?”
