How do we cherish the present while preparing for the inevitable? How do we navigate a grief that doesn't come with closure? These are some of the tough questions we're talking about today.
Joining us is Dr. Theresa B. Skaar, or as many know her, Dr. T. With her PhD in social psychology, expertise in Mind-Body Medicine, and certification in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Dr. T is deeply committed to helping people, particularly caregivers, find peace and resilience in the most challenging moments of life.
She brings a wealth of experience from her personal caregiving journey, as well as her professional work in workshops, where she blends humor, compassion, and practical tools. Whether you're a caregiver or someone interested in learning how mindfulness and grief intersect, Dr. T's insights will leave you feeling both comforted and empowered.
In today’s conversation, we’ll explore what it means to experience anticipatory and ambiguous grief, why it matters to understand these types of grief, and how mindfulness practices can be a powerful tool in the process.
