The Weight of Care: Conversations for Caregivers

Caregiving often carries a quiet emotional weight that is rarely talked about openly. Alongside love, responsibility, and dedication, caregivers frequently experience layers of grief as relationships change and evolve over time.

This interactive workshop introduces the concept of grief literacy — developing the language and tools that help people recognize and navigate the many forms grief can take throughout the caregiving journey.

Participants will explore the emotional realities of caregiving, including anticipatory grief, the complexity of long-term care, and the identity shifts that can occur both during caregiving and after it ends. One of the most common experiences caregivers describe is the profound question that can arise when caregiving is over: Who am I now?
