MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES
According to a study recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, caregivers find that taking care of relatives with Alzheimer’s disease is so arduous that nearly three out of four people who do it are relieved when their loved one finally dies. Quite understandably, caregivers professing feelings of relief felt quite guilty about the fact Experts are quick to point out however, that feelings of relief after a loved one’s death are normal and not reason to feel guilty. After all, more than ninety percent of the caregivers surveyed believed that death came as a relief for Alzheimer’s patients. Caregivers may also find themselves in a different stage of grief than other survivors, as they may grieve before death arrives.
Relief is a common feeling after the death of a loved one who has suffered a long time, as is guilt about that relief. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we understand how complicated one’s feelings can be about the loss of a loved one and we offer support to all. Call 3473431 (233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton) 24-hours a day.
