Caring for someone with dementia demands patience, empathy, and resilience. But even the most committed dementia caregivers feel their temper rise after repeated questions, refusals to cooperate, or long stretches of interrupted sleep. When anger appears, guilt often follows—but both emotions are part of the caregiving journey. You’re not alone in feeling this way. Anger […]
Supporting aging parents can feel like you’ve stepped into two completely different roles—one for Mom and one for Dad. While she might want to talk through every detail, he prefers a direct update. She seeks reassurance that she’s not alone; he wants to know he’s still the one calling the shots. If you’re caring for […]

But supporting two elderly parents simultaneously, balancing between two unique sets of needs, schedules, and personalities?

The way someone with dementia experiences the world isn’t always grounded in our current reality. One of the more heart-wrenching yet powerful experiences you may encounter is something called time-shifting. It isn’t just forgetting what day it is; it’s a complete immersion in a different era of their life. As an example, perhaps you are […]
