Caregiver Conversations: Raw & Real

Duet is excited to launch Caregiver Conversations: Raw & Real, a new podcast created for family caregivers who deserve honesty, support, and a community that truly understands. Episodes feature meaningful conversations with experts, lived-experience caregivers, and trusted guides in caregiving who talk openly about the realities, challenges, and unexpected moments of hope that come with being a caregiver role. No sugarcoating – just real talk, practical insights, and encouragement you can carry with you.

Meet Dr. Pauline Boss

The work we do at Meaning & Hope Institute is based on the pioneering work of Pauline Boss, Ph.D. Coining the phrase “ambiguous loss” in the 1970s to describe the unique mental and physical impacts on those living with an unclear loss of a loved one, her research, theory and practice of stress reduction for people whose loved ones are ambiguously lost guides our mission and services. In 2022, Dr. Boss named Duet: Partners in Health & Aging as one of three national organizations to carry on her innovative work.
