Caregivers
If you are a caregiver, you may be grieving someone who is still here: the person they were before illness, injury, or dementia changed them. This is a slow, ambiguous grief, often unacknowledged because the loss hasn't fully happened yet. You are holding both love and anticipatory sorrow, often alone, while also managing the endless practical demands of care. Your grief is real, and it deserves recognition and support of its own.
