Join a group of fellow family caregivers to discuss how to regain hope and build resilience when dealing with the complexities of ongoing loss associated with caring for someone with dementia. In Duet’s Finding Meaning and Hope series, you will learn skills to help you stay strong, healthy, resilient, and positive as you navigate your caregiving journey with healing and hope. This 10-week discussion series features videos based on the groundbreaking book, Loving Someone Who Has Dementia: How to Find Hope While Coping with Stress and Grief by Pauline Boss, Ph.D, a leading expert on caregiver grief. It is built on solid research and years of practical experience, and it offers real help in dealing with the challenges, losses, and rewards of being a family caregiver of someone who is, or is becoming, psychologically absent.

These sessions will be offered virtually using Zoom. To participate, you will need a computer, tablet, or smart phone with a camera and sound capabilities.

Do you have a plan if something happens to you? Who will make your financial or medical decisions when you can no longer speak for yourself? Although no one likes to think about this potential phase in their life, advance directives will save your loved ones in a difficult time from making decisions that may be contrary to your wishes. Local attorney Christina Stoneking will discuss the difference between advance directives (such as the durable power of attorney, health care power of attorney, living will and funeral arrangements) and a last will and testament. Christina will provide guidance on how to obtain and complete the forms, and explain what to do with your advance directives once they are done.

Join a group of fellow family caregivers to discuss how to regain hope and build resilience when dealing with the complexities of ongoing loss associated with caring for someone with dementia. In Duet’s Finding Meaning and Hope series, you will learn skills to help you stay strong, healthy, resilient, and positive as you navigate your caregiving journey with healing and hope. This 10-week discussion series features videos based on the groundbreaking book, Loving Someone Who Has Dementia: How to Find Hope While Coping with Stress and Grief by Pauline Boss, Ph.D, a leading expert on caregiver grief.
