The Only Constant is Change: Navigating Life’s Transitions While Caregiving
Transitions are a natural part of life. For family caregivers
however, life changes can come on quickly and strongly. Caregivers
often face a myriad of transitions in their own life while
simultaneously managing the overwhelming changes occurring in
the life of the person they are caring for. This dynamic can bring
feelings of confusion, isolation, sadness, and worry.
This presentation will address some of the major life transitions
faced by family caregivers and their loved ones, offering strategies
for coping with the constant of change and fostering a new
perspective on life as it flows.
