At lunchtime today, CBC Radio One aired an episode of their "Now or Never" program about how pickleball supports the mental and emotional well-being of players dealing with loss and grief, helping them move forward beyond just surviving, to living again:
"A few weeks ago, Lisa de Lusignan wrote in to "Now or Never" to tell us about losing her husband to ALS, and the surprising thing helping her through her grief: pickleball. So of course we called her up, to find out how joy and sadness co-exist on the pickleball courts. "Nobody looked at me like, โOh geez, I hope sheโs OK today.' Which is fine! And lovely for people to do that. But sometimes I just want to be a girl coming to play pickleball, not the sad wife.""
