IN-PERSON Living With Ambiguous Loss Support Group (4 Weeks) Alzheimer Society of Toronto - Eglinton Location
This in-person, 4-week structured support group is for family care partners of people living with dementia in the mid-to-late stages. We will explore the concept of ambiguous loss, develop coping strategies, and gain understanding of feelings of grief when caring for a spouse, parent or sibling living with dementia.
This group offers the opportunity to:
Learn about ambiguous loss, and ambiguous loss in the context of dementia, and how this unique type of loss differs from other losses
Develop strategies to continue to engage the person with dementia despite your losses, despite your grief
Engage in self reflection
Learn how others are adjusting to their own changing relationships
Week 1: Introduction and defining ambiguous loss Week 2: Your community and psychological family; family roles and family rituals Week 3: Finding meaning; tempering mastery; reconstructing identity Week 4: Becoming comfortable with ambiguity; redefining attachment and discovering hope
This is an in-personsupportgroup.
