I walk through the cemetery and observe the engravings on the headstones. ‘Devoted father, son and brother’. ‘Beloved mother and grandma’. I notice that none of them say CEO, founder, seven-figure entrepreneur, industry leader, artist, expert or marketing guru. The only important message, it seems, is that the person who has passed away had human connections and meant a lot to those closest to them. When we go, that is all that matters. People and relationships. Not money, work, careers, creativity or achievements. People. Love. Connection. Family. Friends.
When you die
