This page is for you if

  • You became a nurse, scheduler, and advocate overnight

  • You miss the person who is still in the house

  • You feel guilty the moment you rest

  • Friends stopped asking because they don’t know what to say

  • You are snapping, sleepless, or strangely numb

What we talk about

  • Burnout and compassion fatigue

  • Ambiguous grief — mourning a change while the person is alive

  • Role changes in a marriage or a parent-child relationship

  • Anger that feels forbidden

  • Boundaries with siblings who disappeared

  • How to stay a partner, not only a caregiver

You do not have to wait until they are in therapy

Your session is about your nervous system, your grief, and your life. Joint sessions are possible later if everyone wants them.

Practical

Telehealth is often easier than finding coverage at home. Early morning and scheduling windows can be discussed on the consult call.
