Sonsyrea Tate<\/a> was surprised\u2014and delighted\u2014when her 97-year-old grandfather bounced back after the end of his beloved wife\u2019s struggle with Alzheimer\u2019s disease. But moving on after caregiving can be complicated. Former caregivers can suffer from guilt, exhaustion and confusion, among other things.<\/p>\n

\u201cCaregiving<\/a> inevitably changes us,\u201d says David Troxel, an internationally known expert on Alzheimer\u2019s and coauthor, with Virginia Bell, of The Best Friends Approach to Alzheimer\u2019s Care. <\/em>Here\u2019s how to heal and transition smoothly into your next chapter.<\/p>\n

Stick with your support group. <\/strong>If you\u2019ve enjoyed the camaraderie of a caregiving support group<\/a>, consider staying on. \u201cIt can benefit you even after a family member has passed away,\u201d Troxel says. \u201cYou can act as a kind of mentor and share your wisdom with the group.\u201d Another option: Join a bereavement group (through a church, synagogue or hospice). <\/p>\n

Learn a new skill. <\/strong>Studies confirm: Building new skills<\/a> helps ward off dementia and boosts well-being. Now that you have more time, take up a new activity. What have you always wanted to try? How about taking language classes or music lessons or learning how to knit or sew? \u201cIt can be fun and good for your brain, body and spirit,\u201d Troxel says. <\/p>\n

Reach out to family and friends. <\/strong>\u201cEven after a formal service, consider gathering with loved ones and talking about your experience, lessons learned and plans for the future,\u201d Troxel says. \u201cIf you have a lot of pent-up feelings, don\u2019t be shy. Let folks know how you are feeling; ask for a hug<\/a>. You\u2019ll be surprised at how many people will be there for you.\u201d <\/p>\n

Consider moving. <\/strong>\u201cI tell grieving families: Don\u2019t make any major decisions for at least one year,\u201d says Troxel. \u201cBut then be bold! If you\u2019ve always dreamed of moving into the city and living in a small apartment and being within walking distance of coffee shops and theaters, go for it. Moving can open up a lot of new horizons<\/a> in your life.\u201d <\/p>\n

Give back. <\/strong>It\u2019s no surprise to Troxel that the volunteer rosters at the Alzheimer\u2019s Association are full of former caregivers. \u201cIt\u2019s so impactful to be able to share what you\u2019ve learned. It is a wonderful way to give a sense of purpose to your years of caregiv\u00ading,\u201d he says. Or you might consider working as a caregiver with a company like Home Instead. \u201dIt is part of the healing process to be out in the world, helping others<\/a>,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n
