Description

Is caring for a loved one with dementia weighing heavily on your emotions?


Caring for someone with dementia is one of the hardest jobs imaginable, but it's also filled with moments of love and connection. However, there are days when the weight of it all feels unbearable. 

If you're feeling overwhelmed, you're not alone. In today's episode, we’ll explore a key aspect of dementia caregiving that many shy away from: coping with the negative emotions that arise. 




And we'll look at practical, often overlooked strategies to help you along this journey.


 


Remember, you are not alone on this journey. There is no shame in reaching out for help. Whether it’s through counseling, community support, or a monthly dementia coaching session, finding resources to process your emotions is crucial. Take that step toward caring for yourself just as much as you care for your loved one.
