St. William Catholic Church, St. Simons Island

When someone we love is diagnosed with terminal illness, we begin to live in expectation of loss.  A terminal diagnosis takes away control and changes our ability to plan for the future.  Caregivers face emotional stress that friends and family often do not understand.  Alzheimer’s caregivers experience compounded stress for being in the caregiving role for years as they experience continual losses.  This presentation will give special attention to caregivers for Alzheimer’s patients; however, it will have relevance to all caregivers.  We invite everyone who is interested to attend.  A light supper will be provided.  Pleas call to reserve a seat, 264-0777.
