In Episode 64, we look at the death of celebrities, sports figures, radio and tv personalities, actors and others and discuss why we are affected by their challenges and grieve their deaths.

Last year, in episode 10, we spoke about how we feel when our heroes share about their terminal illnesses or have died.  We revisit this discussion now that Alex Trebek and Rush Limbaugh have succumbed to their illnesses.
