GRIEF AND LOSS AS ALZHEIMER'S PROGRESSES Alzheimer's gradually takes away the person you know and love. As this happens, you will mourn him or her and may experience the different phases of grieving: denial, anger, guilt, sadness and acceptance. The stages of grief don't happen neatly in order. You may move in and out of different stages as time goes on. Some common experiences in the grieving process include: Denial: Hoping that the person is not ill Expecting the person to get better Convincing yourself that the person has not changed Attempting to normalize problematic behaviors Anger: Being frustrated with the person Resenting the demands of caregiving Resenting family members who cannot or will not help provide care Feeling abandoned Guilt: Having unrealistic expectations with thoughts like: “I should have done ...” “I must do everything for him or her” or “I must visit him or her every day” Feeling bad because you are still able to enjoy life Feeling that you have failed if, for example, you cannot care for the person at home Having negative thoughts about the person or wishing that he or she would go away or die Regretting things about your relationship before the diagnosis Sadness: Feeling overwhelmed by loss Crying frequently Withdrawing from social activities or needing to connect more frequently with others Withholding your emotions or displaying them more openly than usual Acceptance: Learning to live in the moment Finding personal meaning in caring for someone who is terminally ill Understanding how the grieving process affects your life Appreciating the personal growth that comes from surviving loss Finding your sense of humor Asking for and accepting help from others To read more from the Alzheimer's Association about grief and loss, please click here https://buff.ly/3A9cVL3 #AlzheimersAssociation

This creates challenges for employers, many of whom may not know how to best support employees who are experiencing symptoms of cognitive impairment. Conversely, employees may be hesitant to share with their employer the challenges that they’re experiencing.
