What do you do when the person you love is still alive… but slipping away? In this gripping episode of Caregiver Secrets, host Reginald Reglus exposes the hidden grief many dementia caregivers face but rarely name—ambiguous loss and anticipatory grief.

Discover the psychology behind why you’re grieving someone who hasn’t passed, the impact this has on your mental health, and science-backed strategies to help you navigate the emotional fog. This is the episode caregivers didn’t know they desperately needed.

Whether you’re new to caregiving or deep in the long goodbye, you’ll walk away with clarity, comfort, and concrete tools to process the pain no one prepared you for.
