Accepting the loss of a loved one is never easy.
A few weeks ago Keeping It REAL Caregiving invited you to our LIVE Sunday Coffee Chat & Support Hour, focusing on coping with bereavement and loss.
(Technical issues forced that session to end sooner than planned)
A few days later I had a chance to reconnect with our special guest, guest, Toni Miles, MD, PhD, FGSA, Epidemiologist.
Dr. Miles is an advisor to eldercare initiatives including the CDC Healthy Brain, Georgia's Alzheimer's Task Force, and the John A. Hartford Foundation.
Based at the University of Georgia, Dr. Miles works with organizations to identify Best Practices in Bereavement Care. Her research focuses on bereavement care and counseling.
