#181 Caregiver Grief After Aphasia: Guilt, Shame, and Anger

#181 Caregiver Grief After Aphasia: Guilt, Shame, and Anger

Caregiver grief after aphasia often shows up as anger, guilt, and shame—especially when your partner survived and everyone expects gratitude.

In this episode of Life Beyond Aphasia, Genevieve Richardson speaks with grief coach Megan Young about the hidden grief many care partners carry after stroke and aphasia. Together, they explore why grief lingers long after rehab ends, how dismissive comments from others can deepen isolation, and why so many care partners feel overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted without knowing why.

This conversation is for spouses and partners who are quietly grieving the life they planned, questioning their reactions, or wondering if something is wrong with them for still struggling. Naming grief is not giving up. For many care partners, it’s the beginning of rebuilding.
