This episode sees the return of Katherine Finlay at the Village of Riverside Glen. Katherine came on the radio last year to talk about the Java Music Club - today she returns to share her experiences being diagnosed with (and recovering from) Covid while living at Riverside Glen. This has included struggles - being quarantined, worrying about her diagnosis and the deterioration of her physical health, and the reality of being separated from her husband in Long Term Care for long stretches of time. But it is important to Katherine to share the positives she's experienced too - the incredible resilience, patience, and care her and the residents have received from their PSWs, and the time the isolation has given her to work on her incredible history project: a project documenting people she feels have meaningfully impacted the world. This conversation gives a glimpse into the layers and complexities of emotions some of our seniors are facing, it gives a space for Katherine to grieve, but also to acknowledge and celebrate share and we are so thankful to Katherine for opening up about this difficult topic. Tune in!
