Description
Zachary Baker and Katherine Supiano lay out a joint project on grief care for African American families who lost kin to dementia, in a report from 2023. In the next ten years, near nine million new bereaved dementia carers will join the ranks. Black families bear twice the dementia rate of white ones, so the grief wave hits them hard.
Up to a quarter of such carers grieve in a long, harsh form, far past the rate in cancer care. The project pairs town leads, who have served this group since 2016, with a campus team that studies grief care. It maps needs and strengths from the ground up, not from a desk. The pair call the group doubly missed, the ultra-invisible, and they share what a town-campus tie gives and costs.
