Behind the Flowers: Yellow & Purple - A Caregiver and a Loved One Lost


Listen Later

On today’s episode we’re exploring the stories behind the Walk to End Alzheimer’s flowers. We’re joined by Nancy Poulos of St. Johnsbury, VT who carries a purple flower symbolizing the loss of her mother to Alzheimer’s, and Frank Spinella of Middletown, RI who carries a yellow flower representing his role as a caregiver for his father. Together, Nancy and Frank open up about love, loss, caregiving, and what it means to stand among thousands of flowers that symbolize so many personal stories.
