Goals of the Group

This therapist-led group offers a supportive space to reflect on the emotional journey of caring for aging parents. Together, we’ll explore how to stay present, offer love without losing yourself, and manage the complex mix of responsibility, guilt, and connection that often arises. Whether you're navigating practical caregiving or emotional shifts, this space is here to help you show up with compassion—for them and for yourself.

Who is this group for?

This group is for adult children who are beginning to notice their parents ageing—whether that’s through health changes, emotional shifts, or a growing sense of time passing. You may live nearby or far away, but you want to be more emotionally present, deepen your relationship, and make this stage meaningful—for them and for yourself.

Glimpse of the regime

Session 1: Realising They Are Ageing

• Naming the moment: How and when did you start noticing your parents ageing?
• Mixed feelings: Love, fear, regret, irritation, protectiveness
• Understanding common shifts in adult child-parent dynamics
• Journaling prompt: “What I notice now that I didn’t before…”

Session 2: Looking Back, Moving Forward

• Reflecting on your emotional history with your parents
• What are you carrying? (Old wounds, unmet needs, gratitude, admiration)
• Reframing expectations: From needing them to showing up for them
• Creative exercise: Write a letter you won’t send—what you wish you could say

Session 3: Being Present, Even from Afar

• Emotional presence vs. physical presence
• What do they need or long for (and what do you guess vs. know)?
• Rituals of connection—calls, shared hobbies, memory-keeping, celebrations
• Group brainstorm: Ways to bring joy and meaning into their day

Session 4: Legacy, Letting Go, and What’s Next

• Talking about difficult things: decline, loss, death, and after
• What legacy means (for them and for you)
• Creating an emotional action plan for how you want to show up
• Closing ritual: sharing commitments & a letter/gesture to carry forward

Learn from us & from each other

  • Biggest benefit has been listening and learning about what other people are thinking

    Ketki

  • I just had a very emotional discussion. It was probably one of the most helpful things for me in years.

    Isha

  • I'd give it a 10 [out of 10]. I'm surprised at how vulnerable and open everyone was in the first session.
