Anticipatory Grief in Dementia

Join us on December 15, 2021 at noon for the next McGill Cares webcast to support informal caregivers. During candid, 30-minute interviews with leading experts, Claire Webster explores topics related to caring for a loved one with dementia.

Corrie Sirota is a clinical social worker and sessional lecturer at the McGill School of Social Work who specializes in loss, bereavement and stress management. She is the co-host of the weekly radio show “Life Unrehearsed” on CJAD and the author of Someone Died...Now What? A Personal and Professional Perspective on Coping with Loss and Grief.
Ms. Sirota will explain anticipatory grief, how it can manifest, why it occurs frequently with dementia and how to cope with it.

This episode of McGill Cares is made possible by the Zeller Family Foundation.
