Coping with the grief of caregiving

An excellent webinar about understanding caregiver grief and how to cope with the sense of loss as a loved one’s disease progresses. It helped me gain some insight to my emotional state and I thought it is well worth sharing. There are other good resources at the Ontario Caregivers website.
