Listen Later

I would love to hear from you. Send me questions or comments.

We sit with grief educator Lisa Wrights to explore anticipatory grief, workplace expectations, holiday triggers and the myth of a timeline. Stories from dementia caregiving ground the advice, while journaling and groups offer real relief.

• why anticipatory grief wears down caregivers
• why repeating stories can comfort the person with dementia
• how workplaces mishandle grief and simple fixes
• myths about stages, timelines and “moving on”
• practical tools including journaling and support groups
• planning exits and boundaries for holidays and events
• differences between a grief educator and a therapist
• delayed grief and how to spot it
• resources, ebooks and where to find help
