Caregiving Expert Shares Caregiver and Patient Experiences
Denver, CO – May 2, 2024. Caregiving expert and speaker Pamela D Wilson shares caregiver and patient experiences about grieving the future. In Wilson's recently released video, she responds to caregiver requests for information about managing anticipatory grief—the idea of grieving before a loss occurs.
Many family caregivers become decades-long caregivers for disabled children, aging parents, or spouses with chronic diseases or memory loss. Their dreams and hopes for the future collide with the reality of the ongoing care needs of family members when physical and mental abilities decline.
For example, the side effects of chemotherapy and immunotherapy can result in dementia. So, while a loved one may be a cancer survivor, they are now affected by advancing memory loss that requires 24/7 care.
Caregivers and Patients Have Competing Worries
Caregivers and persons who need care have competing worries about what will happen tomorrow. Caregivers may worry about completing a long list of tasks, money to pay for healthcare expenses, or who will care for loved ones if the caregiver dies first.
Patients can be mentally consumed with taking medications, attending ongoing treatments, and the mental and physical challenges of not feeling well. These mental distractions can make persons needing care appear unappreciative of their caregivers, leading to relationship challenges.
