What happens when we reach the end of our journey, when we are confronted with grief and loss, while the burden of caregiving is relieved? In this episode, two caregivers share their stories: Judith Johanson, in her multiple roles at the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center and Gerontology Research Unit, and Katie Brandt, Director of Caregiver Support Services and Public Relations for the Frontotemporal Disorders Unit, both at Massachusetts General Hospital. They discuss how they chose to stay connected with the field after their journeys of care, the balance of grief and joy and, in Katie’s words, “how love is the bridge from so many yesterdays to brand-new tomorrows.” Judy speaks to how she was able to “move forward with hope and anticipation while carrying the treasures we have amassed from our cherished memories.”
