Caregiver Care
Caregivers need strong support to continue providing care in what is often a very difficult time emotionally. We can work on prioritizing things in your brain and increasing self-care to effective levels. We can work to prevent or cure caregiver burnout. I can hold space for you and listen to all that you are shouldering, This package includes anticipatory-grief support for the caregivers (preceding death) and may include extended support after death.
