In the final episode of this season of the Dementia Podcast, Ailsa talks with filmmaker Jason van Genderen and Megan van Genderen about their recently released documentary Everybody’s Oma and about the challenges, heartbreak and love captured in the film as they cared for Oma. 

Through Ailsa’s conversation with Jason and Megan we explore their journey of care, the choices they made to fight for and maintain Oma’s independence and the difficulties that brought, all during the pandemic. 

Ailsa and Colm speak about what loss can do to the people nearest and dearest to those living with dementia and how support sometimes fails in those moments.
