caregiver support group

Struggling with Loneliness: During the Decline and Afterwards

Led by Kathy Jonston Betzoldt, M.A., L.P.C.


Date: Monday, July 1, 2024

Respite Care Available: To reserve your spot, please call: 517-266-2588

Caring for a loved one through their declining health is a journey filled with many emotions and challenges. Among the most pervasive and difficult to manage is loneliness. This sense of isolation can intensify both during the caregiving period and after the loss of your loved one. Recognizing and addressing this loneliness is crucial for your well-being.

Caregivers often find themselves isolated from their previous social circles due to the demanding nature of their responsibilities. The transition from active caregiving to the quiet that follows can also create a deep void, leaving many feeling disconnected and alone.

We invite you to join our upcoming caregiver support group session, "Struggling with Loneliness: During the Decline and Afterwards," led by Kathy Jonston Betzoldt, M.A., L.P.C. Kathy brings extensive experience and compassion to her work, helping caregivers navigate the complex emotions associated with their role.

We understand the importance of taking a break, and respite care will be available to ensure you can attend the session without worry. To reserve your spot, please call 517-266-2588.

Loneliness is a common but often overlooked aspect of caregiving. Whether you are currently caring for a loved one or have recently lost someone dear, it is important to acknowledge and address these feelings. Support groups provide an invaluable opportunity to connect, share, and heal together.

We look forward to welcoming you on July 1st for an afternoon of support, understanding, and community. Remember, you are not alone.
