When Grief Becomes Part of Your Family Story
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of grief and love through the lens of Alzheimer's and family memories.
Before this is a conversation about grief, it’s a conversation about love. In this deeply personal episode, Simon and Lachy are joined by Lauren - Simon’s wife - to talk about her mum Michelle, who was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s. They reflect on the beautiful bond Michelle shared with her grandson Asher, and what it means to keep someone you love part of the family story after they’re gone. Lauren shares what her mum was like, what it meant to care for her while raising a young child, and the small rituals that keep Michelle close. Content note: this episode includes conversations about Alzheimer’s, caregiving, grief and death.
