Les aînés ont été particulièrement touchés par la maladie mais aussi par le confinement. De plus, le discours médiatique rappelle sans cesse leur vulnérabilité. Cela affecte les individus mais aussi leurs proches. Comment composer avec l’anxiété que tout cela génère chez chacun ? Comment maintenir de bonnes relations malgré tout ?
Quels moyens peut-on se donner pour mieux vivre les différents deuils, voire le deuil ultime ? Au cours de cette conférence, nous aborderons l’anxiété, la tristesse et les deuils que vivent les ainés et leurs proches en élaborant les moyens d’y faire face pour garder son équilibre malgré tout.
