Welcome to Connecting Seniors — a special series from Kintsugi Heroes, sharing the lived experiences of aging Australians to build understanding, connection, and respect across generations.Through honest, unhurried conversations, we sit down with seniors from across the country to hear the stories that shaped them — the losses, the loves, the lessons learned the hard way, and the wisdom that only comes with time.
