Annette’s Story: The Experience That Inspired Age Brightly
The Next Bit Podcast
In this incredibly personal episode, Hannah McQueen sits down with Girvan Roberts to share the story that inspired Age Brightly.
Girvan reflects on supporting her mother Annette through dementia, falls, and hospitalisation, navigating EPOA (enduring power of attorney) responsibilities, sibling dynamics, community care, and the emotional toll of anticipatory grief.
If you’ve supported an aging parent, this episode will resonate.
