Grief in Caregiving

MoniqueFrahm

Hello everyone! As you all know, there is a lot of loss in caregiving. Loss of the future you thought you'd have, loss of parts of yourself... and the list could go on. What is a loss that you've experienced in caregiving, and how has it affected you?

We have an upcoming webinar this Friday, April 14th at 1pm EST on Grief In Caregiving (During and After) that discusses this. You can click here to register, if this topic is relevant to you!

I'm Linda, 76, caring for my 72-year-old husband who was diagnosed with Alzheimers three years ago but there were many symptoms long before. He's had many health issues and 7 major surgeries since 2012 so I feel I've been taking care of him forever. Recently, I've noticed significant decline in his memory and behaviors. I'm the caregiver and only recently has his family stepped up to help and I've begun to seek support and help. Since this is a topic about grief, I'll just say I know I'm grieving the loss of him and the loss of my life. Some days I can't stop crying.

Ive been caring for my husband for 30 years and I can't count the times I've gone through the grief cycle. I registered for the workshop coming up this weekend.
