Grief is a complex and deeply personal experience for many family caregivers — both during the caregiving journey and after caregiving has ended.
In this webinar, social worker Rebecca Pimienta explores the unique nature of caregiver grief and how it can evolve throughout the caregiving trajectory, including anticipatory grief, bereavement, and the emotional transitions that often follow caregiving.
This session supports caregivers in understanding how grief may affect their identity, relationships, and sense of purpose after caregiving ends. Practical strategies, tools, and resources are shared to help caregivers navigate grief with greater clarity, self-compassion, and resilience.
Whether you are currently caregiving, have recently experienced a loss, or are supporting someone who has, this session offers meaningful insights and supportive guidance.
In this webinar, participants will:
- Learn about different forms of caregiver grief
- Recognize the unique bereavement experiences of caregivers
- Explore practical tools and resources to foster coping and connection in grief
