Show Notes
Suzanne shares her personal story about chorale singing at the time she lost her father. The sense of community from her choir helped prevent her from becoming isolated, supporting one another, a group that held her up and embraced her.
There is so much grief with seniors dealing with transitions, letting go of their homes, or perhaps lost someone during the pandemic. Joshua Vickery, CEO of Encore Creativity for Older Adults, joins Suzanne to talk about similar stories by members of the group. The power of music, being part of something bigger than yourself, transports you to another place away from those things that might be hurting you, or causing you stress or anxiety.
