In Memorium 2021
from Life, Lemons & LemonDrops Hosted by Greer McVay & Whitnie Wiley
In this Bonus Episode, Greer and Whitnie recall the lives of some notable figures we lost during 2021 and what they meant to us. Sharing memories of their contributions and how we can learn from their examples makes their loss easier to accept and celebrate. News broke soon after recording this bonus episode that comedian Betty White passed away. She was a couple of weeks shy of her 100th birthday. Here are a few Betty quotes we thought you might find interesting. On humor: "For me, humor is about rhythm. It's like an ear for music. It's hard to explain." Passion: "I think everybody needs a passion. Whether it's one passion or a hundred, that's what keeps life interesting...I can't imagine living any other way." On aging: "Somewhere along the line there is a breaking point, where you go from not discussing how old you are to bragging about it." Regrets: "I have no regrets at all. None. I consider myself to be the luckiest old broad on two feet." Having children: "Barbara Walters once asked me if I ever had desired to have a child. The answer is, I never did think about it." Here we give Betty the final word on grief: "There's no formula. Keep busy with your work and your life. You can't become a professional mourner. It doesn't help you or others. Keep the person in your heart all the time. Replay the good times. Be grateful for the years you had."
