in Supporting Those Who Have Lost Someone

Hello.

I was a caregiver for my father from 2013-2017, while I was in my mid 20s. At the time I felt very isolated in this experience and would love to hear about any resources or support groups for both current and former care givers of parents, partners, etc. who are in their 20's or 30's. Any resources would be very helpful.

    Hi @thrashTXMA - I was caregiver for my mom from 2016-2022 when she passed. There is an adult child caregiver support group through ALZ that meets the first Wednesday of each month.


    I also found success in doing therapy and now grief groups since losing mom.


    Hope that helps!
