The Loneliness of Being a Spousal Caregiver
Web conference: Many unique, and often profound, challenges arise when caregiving for a spouse or partner. Whether it is a chronic health problem, issues with mobility or decreased cognitive function, as your spouse’s condition progresses and you become their caregiver, it can feel more and more like you are losing your relationship. When you are caregiving for the person you love, you no longer experience the level of day-to-day intimacy that you did before - whether it's the casual chats over morning coffee or the shared moments of levity. Join other spousal caregivers to share and explore the loneliness that ensues. What to do? Come and learn that it might be much simpler than you realize.
This webinar is facilitated by Allison Reeves, Registered Clinical Counsellor and runs from 6:30 - 8:00 PM. We gratefully acknowledge the United Way of Greater Victoria and the Province of British Columbia for partial funding of this event.
