Denial, anger, guilt, sadness, and acceptance. Sound familiar? It's likely that caregivers of someone with Alzheimer's disease or other dementia have experienced one or more of these feelings, and although they can be distressing, they are a normal part of grieving. Caregivers may grieve for a variety of reasons, but an understanding of how to find hope in the emotional process can allow those affected by it to claim ownership over their feelings and utilize grief in a healthy manner.
Grief, when left unchecked, can manifest physically and mentally. When a caregiver is depleted, they may struggle to balance their own care and needs while considering their loved one. But having the ability to give without depleting oneself is in the best interest of both parties, as it enables a more present relationship. Learning to do this in what feels like a grief-averse world can be daunting without proper support.
Join board-certified chaplain Bryan Womack on Tuesday, July 29 as he guides caregivers through reexamining and understanding grief and its deep roots in the expression of love. Understanding how to navigate emotions and harness their power is achievable and game-changing, allowing the caregiver to become increasingly mentally and emotionally present for the moments that matter in the caregiving journey.
