Conversations with Dr. Tam Cummings
A Monthly Education Series for the Dementia Caregiver
Tomer Morad loved to travel, particularly in Israel.

reasons Omri and his wife Tamar
Morad chose to leave Israel and settle
in the Philadelphia area, where Tamar
Morad’s aunt lives.

Israeli culture was very intense,
Omri Morad said. Even the way people
drive was “a bit too much.” When the
family had a fi re in their home, it was
the last straw.

Th e couple moved to Newtown
with their young daughter in July
2019, and their son was born during
the pandemic. Th e family belongs to
Congregation Brothers of Israel.

Tomer Morad’s death coincided
with the expiration of the family’s visa,
which is part of the reason they are
staying in Israel until further notice.

But the family hopes to return.

safe upbringing, which he believes he
can do in Bucks County.

“I’m not afraid that my daughter is rid-
ing the bus to school every morning,” he
said. “And, yes, there were occasions that
we mainly hear from the media about
shootings in school in the United States,
or shootings in the mall. But, for some
reason, it doesn’t bother us so much ... It
doesn’t aff ect us on a daily basis.”
Morad is frustrated by the ongo-
ing war; he feels that Israel’s proposed
solutions to combating terror attacks
haven’t been eff ective. He’s perturbed
by the teaching in some Palestinian
schools that antagonize and target
Jews. He’s not sure of the country’s best
path forward and is hoping to avoid
any more family tragedy.

“Th e only opinion I have is that I am
terrifi ed that this thing will happen to
one of my kids,” Morad said. JE
Helping the Grieving and
Guilt-Ridden Caregiver
Post death grief, huge levels of guilt, a decade
of caregiving, compassion fatigue, and self-
compassion are the topics for this webinar. Dr.

Tam Cummings will discuss what happens to us
as caregivers during the decline and loss of our
loved ones with dementia. Techniques to help
with stress and tools to measure your stress level
will be shared, along with quick tricks to quickly
help with feelings of being overwhelmed.
