Our first Caregiver Lunch and Learn was this past Tuesday, September 8. We were so thankful that approximately 31 people were in attendance. Great turn out! Many thanks to Hospice of the Piedmont who provided both our speaker and money to provide our lunch. Caroline Oxford, Director of Family Care Services, spoke about Caregiver Burnout and Anticipatory Grief. With the Slow Goodbye, we begin mourning well before the end and this can wreck havoc with our emotions, energy and relationships. Caregivers take care of yourselves, you can't give from an empty cup!
Our next Caregiver Lunch & Learn is Monday (not Tuesday), but Monday, October 12th at 11:30. Lunch and the Speaker will be provided by the Elderlaw Firm. Attorney Denis Toman, JD, CELA will talk about how a dementia diagnosis can leave families feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about what comes next. He will cover all the critical steps to take now to help protect your loved one, avoid costly mistakes, and create a plan f or future care, legal decision-making, and financial security.
Registration is required and best done through JUMC.org or through the App. Look under events to find our next L&L. This is free and open to the community.
