Caring for someone with dementia is not only about daily tasks, but also about navigating a silent, ongoing grief that many caregivers don’t feel they can talk about. This grief begins long before the final goodbye, as pieces of your loved one fade with each stage of the disease. TONIGHT, we will be talking about Grief in Dementia Care, where @Laura Wayman and @Jocelyn Ives will share how unfolding grief, anticipatory grief, and acute grief uniquely affect caregivers. Understanding these phases matters because it validates your emotions and reminds you that your sadness, guilt, or even anger are all normal and deeply human responses. Please join this important conversation. | September 23 @ 5:30p.m. PST (AZ) Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/PRzPtXKIRf-NNdHzhSToUg

Topic for future. How are people experiencing the fallout from the recent drastic cuts to programs that support people with dementia symptoms and caregivers? This will vary greatly state to state. What is the timeline for rolling out these cuts? To prepare, I highly recommend Bradly Cooper’s film called “Caregiving” released June 2025, before the reconciliation bill passed. What’s next?
