Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of Alzheimer’s disease and the emotional impact these experiences can have on individuals and families. Please listen with care.
In this episode of My Childhood Suitcase, I explore how celebrity deaths, dementia, and grief have shifted my perspective on life.
I reflect on unrealized potential, loving a family member through change, and learning that gratitude doesn’t mean ignoring pain. It means noticing what is still here.
Out with: catastrophizing, bracing for loss, and measuring life by productivity.
In with: gratitude, compassion, dignity, and presence.
Get comfy, grab a cup of tea or glass of wine, and let's dive in.
