71. Oscar Winner Marcia Gay Harden on Alzheimer’s, Grief & the Love That Never Leaves

71. Oscar Winner Marcia Gay Harden on Alzheimer’s, Grief & the Love That Never Leaves

Academy Award–winning actress Marcia Gay Harden joins me on Aging Powerfully with Melissa Grelo for an intimate conversation about losing her mother to Alzheimer’s — and what it taught her about love, grief, and what truly endures.

In honour of Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, Marcia shares the heartbreaking and beautiful moments of walking beside her mother as memory fades, along with what she’s learned about women’s brain health, risk, and prevention — and the changes she has made in her own life since her mother’s battle with the disease.

I was fortunate to sit down with Marcia in Toronto at the first-ever Women’s Brain Health Summit, where she spoke powerfully about her personal journey and the urgent need for more research, funding, and awareness around a disease that disproportionately impacts women.

This is a conversation about more than illness — it’s about what remains when memory disappears, and how love never does.
