In this audio essay originally produced for Dr. Kelsey Whipple's Advanced Podcasting class at UMass Amherst, News Editor Rebeca Pereira discusses the emotional weight of watching a relative succumb to illness and the challenge of finding a silver lining and space for gratitude when suffering a prolonged loss. This feature tackles Alzheimer's and memory loss, as well as mentions of emotional abuse that may be triggering to some listeners.
