Moving on after caregiving
Post-caregiving is the period during which a caregiver experiences grief associated with caregiving. GASO defines it as follows: grief in post-caregiving differs from other types of grief, particularly because of the emotional bond shared with the deceased person, the caregiver's loss of identity, and the transition following the loss of the caregiver role.
But how do you move forward when your role as a caregiver ends? This is where GASO steps in. The individual grief support we provide offers a safe and compassionate space to navigate post-caregiving grief.
Please note: Bereavement support is available to grieving caregivers who received support from GASO during their caregiving journey and for up to one year after the passing of their loved one.
This support allows caregivers to:
