The long goodbye of anticipatory grief - You may think grief comes only after a death. But if you have an aging loved one in your life, watching them change and move closer to the end of their life can stir up feelings of grief long before they are gone.

The Long Goodbye: Understanding Anticipatory Grief 💛

August 30 is National Grief Awareness Day, a time to acknowledge the many forms of grief family caregivers experience. Many caregivers can relate to anticipatory grief, the sadness felt while witnessing the decline of a loved one before they’re gone.

Whether it’s a spouse of someone with a terminal illness, or an adult child seeing an aging parent change over time, these feelings are real and valid. 💬 Offering a kind, understanding voice can make all the difference.

✨ In our August newsletter, we explore anticipatory grief, share compassionate resources, and offer ideas for grief support groups, perfect for caregivers seeking understanding and connection.

We also cover:
🩺 Shingles & Vaccination Awareness – why older adults need protection and how to join local health initiatives.

🔒 HIPAA Basics for Caregivers – what it does and doesn’t cover to help you navigate healthcare decisions confidently.

📩 Read the full newsletter for tips, guidance, and ways to support the caregivers in your community.

On National Relaxation Day, we’re honoring the unsung heroes—caregivers. Compassionate caregiving is demanding work.

Today, give yourself permission to pause and recharge. A moment of relaxation isn’t selfish, it’s essential to sustain your care.

Summer heat poses real challenges to heart health, especially for seniors. As temperatures rise, the heart works harder, increasing risks for chest pain, exhaustion, and even silent heart events.

At Mir Care Consultants, we support families in building safe summer routines:

✔️ Stay hydrated and cool
✔️ Schedule early-morning walks or light movement
✔️ Eat seasonally rich fruits, veggies, and lean protein

Let us help your family protect heart health during the hotter months.
