The Grieving Caregiver
Where grief finds words and hearts find rest
Support for caregiving, grief & the life after

You don’t have to walk this road alone.

Caregiving can hold love, exhaustion, uncertainty, and grief all at once. Here, you’ll find understanding and practical support for wherever you are in the journey.

I’m caregiving nowI’m navigating grief

A place for the parts of the story people don’t always see.

Start where you are

Your journey has more than one chapter.

Some days are about the next decision. Others are about making sense of what has changed. You belong here in either season.

For caregivers

While you’re still caring

Find steady, practical guidance for the responsibilities, decisions, and emotions that can come with caring for someone you love. You deserve support in the middle of it, too.

For grievers

When caregiving changes or ends

Grief can begin before the last goodbye—and continue long after the caregiving role changes. Find words for complicated feelings, identity shifts, and the future you thought you would share.

What you can find here

Support for the whole story.

Lived experience, clear education, and compassionate connection—because care and grief are deeply personal.

Feel seen

Hear the complicated parts named without judgment: exhaustion, guilt, relief, love, anger, and everything between.

Find your footing

Get clear, approachable ideas for caregiver challenges and the changes that can follow a loss—at your own pace.

Know you’re not alone

Connect with a voice that understands caregiving from the inside and makes room for your individual grief.

“Grief doesn’t ask us to choose between remembering and living.”
A little about me

I know this road from the inside.

I’m Tony Skulicz, founder of The Grieving Caregiver, caregiver and grief navigator.

For five years, I cared for my mother while working full-time. I coordinated appointments and medications, handled daily needs, and made healthcare decisions. I know how much love caregiving can hold—and how much it can ask of you.

My work draws on more than a decade in health information and family advocacy. I offer practical education and a compassionate place to be understood, whether you’re caring now or finding your way after loss.

For communities and organizations

Let’s make room for the caregiver’s story.

Workshops help current and former caregivers feel seen, heard, and less alone. They give organizations a thoughtful way to talk about grief that can begin before a goodbye and continue after caregiving changes.

Featured workshop

When Caregiving Becomes Grief

A compassionate workshop about anticipatory grief, exhaustion, identity shifts, and the transition that follows.

  • Why grief can begin while caregiving is still happening
  • How guilt, anger, love, and relief can coexist
  • What helps when routine, purpose, or identity changes

For: nursing homes, funeral homes, hospices, and senior living communities.

Wherever you are today

There is room for your story here.

Whether you need practical guidance, words for what you’re carrying, or a conversation with people who understand, you deserve support along the way.
