Caring for Caregivers
Support Group
The Caring for Caregivers group is a supportive space for you, in your time of uncertainty. Through this group, you will gain insight and support from group members, build connections with others who understand, and have a welcoming space to process the challenges of caregiving. You never expected or planned to become a full time caregiver to your partner or parent, and this shift often brings feelings of loneliness, anger, or loss. The role reversal can be scary and hard to navigate, as you take on new responsibilities while trying to plan for the future.
Each week we will discuss a question that caregivers face to process their impact and develop ways to navigate the uncertainties of this season together.
Together we’ll explore the questions you face:
How do I plan for the future without knowing what it will look like?
How do I process ambiguous loss?
What is my identity outside of being a caregiver?
How do I work through my own isolation, loneliness, guilt, anger, frustration?
What is getting in the way of me asking for help?
How do I cope with my loved one’s change in functioning?
