This week's thought-provoking podcast is the third in a four-part series covering four of the most prominent emotions carers experience throughout their caring journey: guilt, resentment, grief and anger and today I am discussing grief.

Grief is normally associated with bereavement, however, in a lot of situations, including in the caring scenario, experiencing a sense of loss and grief can be felt while still in the active caring phase.  Firstly, I will explore carers’ grief, which is less researched and talked about, in terms of why it is important to be aware of it; how it is subtly different to bereavement grief;  I will share how grief showed up in my life as I care for my love one and then share some exercises and activities you can try to reduce any negative impact it might be having, or potentially will have, on you as a caregiver.
