- Grief can coexist with moments of joy.
- Staying present is crucial during challenging times.

In this heartfelt episode of the Emotional Health Matters Podcast, Clinical Director Kim Sargent shares her deeply personal journey of spending time with her mother during her final days. Kim opens up about the emotional rollercoaster she experienced as her mother transitioned into a long-term care facility and later passed away due to Alzheimer's disease.
Through touching anecdotes, Kim describes how she found joy and beauty in the small moments spent with her mother, like listening to birds, going for ice cream drives, and holding hands. These experiences helped her reframe the often negative perception of Alzheimer's, seeing it instead as a chance for her mother to experience life from a different perspective. Kim also touches on the importance of staying present and allowing grief to unfold naturally, despite her professional background in counselling.
Her story is a powerful reminder that even in the midst of profound loss, there can be moments of joy and deep connection. If you're looking for a podcast that blends personal reflection with professional insight, this episode is a must-listen. It will leave you contemplating the delicate balance between grief and joy, and how to find peace in the most challenging times.
