We break down the five stages of grief, share personal stories, and talk about what the process really looks like - not just in theory, but in real life. Whether you're grieving yourself or supporting someone who is, we offer insight, honesty, and a bit of humor to help you (or them) through it.

Getting an Alzheimer's diagnosis is never easy - especially when it's your own mom. In this episode, we take you back to the beginning, sharing the story of how we first realized something was wrong, the struggles of getting the diagnosis, and the emotional rollercoaster that followed. From doctor visits to denial, confusion to clarity, we're opening up about what it's really like to face this disease head-on. Whether you're going through it yourself or just want to understand what it's like, we're here to talk about the hard stuff - with a little humor along the way.
