Description
Lauren Chrzanowski, Elisabeth McLean, and Jonathan Singer study in 2024 whether family caregivers feel pain that mirrors the pain of a loved one who is dying. Such empathetic pain had not been studied in aging groups. Their sample held one hundred family members of people with advanced cancer and thirty eight of people with dementia, with scales for grief before death and for caregiver burden.
Grief before death clearly predicted empathetic pain, accounting for about a fifth of the variation. Burden also predicted it, though more weakly. Care recipient age and diagnosis were held fixed in the tests. Readers who support caregivers get evidence that grief itself, not just workload, can show up as physical pain.
