Hi there, if you're in Melbourne...I'm guessing that you may be as your email addy has a Deakin university domain name, then you could call the OTs at Calvary Health for some advice/direction. My organisation works with them sometimes. They're specialists in the needs of people with progressive neurological conditions and work a lot with families/support teams. Thinking occupationally - managing grief and loss for these people would seem to be intertwined with how the transition times (when loss of capacity to engage in former occupations becomes manifest to the person and their carer team) are experienced. Apart from the very important practical stuff like shower chairs,transfers, and who's going to do the shopping, supporting reflection and and providing the opportunity to share personal narratives are some what I've seen these marvelous OTs do. Also, I worked very closely with one man with MND whose family were greatly assisted by music therapy - his beautiful daughters wrote his a song to let him know how much they loved him. An experience (like so many in OT) that I hope never to forget. hope this helps, cheers, David
