Webinar: Grief & Loss for Caregivers
January 28 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm
Join us for an open discussion on navigating grief and loss as a caregiver, sharing stories, and finding support. Caregivers often experience ongoing grief and loss—not just through death, but through life-altering changes that reshape their expectations and roles.
We have discovered that with the aging adults in the Autism Edmonton community, many are caretakers for a loved one in their lives. This shouldn’t be a surprise as approx. 42% of people in Canada are caretakers. Over half of women (52%) provide care for children or adults, paid or unpaid, significantly more than men.
This session will explore how one navigates grief’s emotional terrain while discovering tools and insights to move forward with resilience and care.
This session is brought to you by Caregivers Alberta, The Sinneave Family Foundation, and Autism Edmonton.
