For this episode I interview Joyce Auger, a new resident at The Village of Riverside Glen. The past two months have meant a lot of significant changes for Joyce - a move to a retirement residence, her first time living in Guelph after spending her entire life in Acton, her first time being separated from her husband (who is now in a different facility for Long-Term Care), and it has meant an adjustment to her progressive loss of her vision. Navigating all of that during a pandemic is not easy, but Joyce and her husband have wonderful devoted children who have been making sure both parents are supported, and Joyce is comforted knowing her family is doing okay. Today we talk about these new hurdles, about our thoughts on this pandemic (and a hopeful soon arrival for the vaccine), about some of her experiences living working and raising a family in Acton, and about spending Christmas with her fellow residents at Riverside Glen. We appreciate so much Joyce sharing her story!
