SUMMARY:Embracing the Unknown Learn to Live with Uncertainty in our Lives!
DESCRIPTION:We live in the moment now more than ever. Before COVID\, we lived with the illusion of certainty. Now we know for sure that we don’t have certainty. As caregivers\, did we ever have “certainty” or is that an illusion? \nIt is a new time and new age but has the world of uncertainty ever really changed? How do we want to live right now\, with all the risks\, limits\, and new freedoms? That is the question many caregivers are wrestling with in unpredictable times. \nHow can we accept and embrace the idea that what we choose now may need an adjustment tomorrow? Can we go with the flow? Make our decisions with the current? Resist the urge to force certainty where none can exist? \nJoin Dr Jamie this month in understanding the power that actually exists in “the unknown” and how we\, as caregivers can reduce our own anxiety and learn to embrace the concept of “uncertainty” in our lives as well as our loved ones. \n

SUMMARY:Recognizing and coping with Anticipatory Grief
DESCRIPTION:No one lives forever and it’s so hard to let go. Losing a loved one can be one of the most devastating events in our lifetime\, but your relative is sitting right next to you. Loss and grief are part of the human experience. Caregivers experience something called “anticipatory grief.” These are feelings of grief that can begin well before a loved one passes away. We will discuss ways to recognize and cope with anticipatory grief. **Sponsored by VITAS Healthcare** \n
