Episode Navigating Grief Throughout Caregiving: Six Essential Tips / Alzheimer's and Other Dementias
Have you noticed yourself feeling sad when your loved one can't remember their phone number? Do you find yourself withdrawing from friends or losing patience more easily? These feelings might be grief—and you may not even realize it's happening.
We are Sue Ryan and Nancy Treaster. As caregivers for our loved ones with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, we've learned that grief doesn't only come after our loved one passes away. It's present throughout our entire caregiving journey, from the moment of diagnosis through each individual change along the way.
The good news is that understanding grief—recognizing it, honoring it, and learning to move through it without getting stuck—can transform how we experience our caregiving journey. Today we're sharing six essential tips to help you navigate grief with grace and compassion.
