Caregiving Over the Holidays

Caregiving during the holidays can cause an already full schedule to overflow. To quote AARP, "For some family caregivers, the holidays can be a joyful time when spirits are lighter. It feels good to care for loved ones and enjoy time together, celebrating with family traditions. But for many the holidays also bring added stress – an already busy caregiver finds there’s even more to do during the holidays. Join ElderLink’s October support call to share ideas and tips for navigating the holiday season with more joy and less stress.

Financial Planning Considerations in the Caregiver Journey

When we step into a caregiving role, it’s important to consider the financial implications this can have. Financial planning allows the space to consider short-term financial planning, as well as long-term planning. Join us for our November support call to discuss financial planning considerations during the caregiving journey.

Terminal Illness: Caregiving While Managing Anticipatory Grief and Loss

The holidays are intended to be a time of celebrating and creating joyful memories with loved ones. However, when caring for someone whose health is declining or who has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, it can be difficult to join in the holiday spirit. Join ElderLink’s December support call to engage in discussion on navigating grief and loss while caring for someone with a terminal illness and finding hope as we transition into the New Year.
