Families and caregivers of people with a form of dementia experience grief and loss at many different points during the progression of the disease.
Helping them cope with that journey is the mandate of a free workshop offered by the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. that’s coming to Ladner later this month.
Families will learn how grief and loss can impact caregivers as well as the person with dementia in a two-hour session on Wednesday, July 30. Participants will also explore strategies for coping with and adjusting to changes brought on by the disease.
The workshop runs from 2 to 4 p.m. at Delta Hospice’s Centre for Supportive Care, 4631 Clarence Taylor Crescent. Pre-registration is required by contacting
Krista Frazee at 604-238-7390 or [email protected].
More information on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, and resources for living with its impact, are available by visiting www.alzheimerbc.org.
