Episode 36: On Mental Illness with a Parent, No Guarantees of Longevity, the Window of Opportunity, and the Hidden Stories of Those Around Us with Terence Wang, pt. 1/2

This is episode is part one of a two part conversation.

Many of us have ideas about how long we are going to live. Based on our lifestyle and genetics, coupled with statistics about average life expectancy, it is easy to think that we have a certain amount of guaranteed years.

But none of that is promised.

My guest Terence dealt with the loss of his mother last year. In this first part, we set the foundation for their relationship and how his life was affected by her mental illness.

In the second part, we discuss the aftermath of her death, his reflections from the event, and his outlook moving forward.
