Caregiving Grief and Overwhelm More Pronounced During Covid | Caregiving.com

Bravo well said!
I have a request to all of you on the sidelines, from all of us on the frontlines: If you’re not helping day-to-day and in the thick of it; if you’re not part of the support team to provide relief for the bereaved or the primary caregiver, please do not make the situation worse by trying to heap guilt on top of despair.

More than 39 million people in the U.S. are age 65 years or older, including 2.4 million people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT).
.
.
"The higher rates of aging and health disparities among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender older adults is a major concern for public health," LGBTQ adults face unique circumstances, such as fear of discrimination. Many do not have children to help them in older age.
If you haven't, we urge you to watch the screening to "Gen Silent," which brought our team together in a way we cannot describe.
