In the past decade alone, the number of caregivers in the U.S. has grown from 42 million to more than 63 million, much of that increase falling on family members already balancing work, parenting, financial pressures, and their own health needs. 

 

For those carrying the profound and often invisible responsibilities of caregiving, this conversation offers both practical guidance and deeper nourishment. 

Drawing from decades of experience in end-of-life care and contemplative practice, Roy Remer explores how caregivers can sustain themselves while caring for others, meeting exhaustion, grief, uncertainty, and love with greater presence and compassion. 

Grounded in the material from his new book, Zen Caregiving: How to Care for Yourself While Caring for Others, this talk offers grounded support for anyone doing the sacred work of caregiving.
