In this week’s episode, we learn the story of Jo Holcombe and her mother Shirley, who suffered from elder abuse by a caregiver. Following Shirley’s death, Jo turned her anger and rage into a positive. She worked tirelessly to have a law enacted in Alabama that requires individuals convicted of felony elder abuse to register (somewhat like a sex offender registry) in an attempt to stop elder abuse. Jo’s perseverance in not stopping until “Shirley’s Law” was enacted provides a great story of inspiration.
