Service Description
Hi! I’m Denise. I’m a therapist specializing in life transitions, particularly when adult children face decisions about their aging parents' independence. As an Instructor in Bradley University's Counseling Program teaching courses on aging dynamics, and through my extensive reading on end-of-life care, I bring professional expertise to this sensitive topic. My understanding also comes from personal experience as the primary caregiver for my father following his two strokes. For five years, I navigated the challenges of balancing his care with my family's needs, coordinating with siblings, and managing the complex decisions that arose. While I discovered resources for my father's care, I noticed a significant gap in support services for caregivers themselves. This group provides a space for adult children caring for aging parents to share experiences, process emotions, and exchange resources with others who understand this journey. Topics Covered: -Assessing Needs Assessing needs of parents, evaluating options, and considering the financial perspective -Family Dynamics Managing family dynamics in caregiving -Advocating for Needs Advocating for your parents’ needs in medical care -Boundaries Setting time and emotional boundaries -Selfcare Selfcare in caregiving -Shifting Roles & Preparing for End of Life Grieving shifting roles and preparing for the end of life
