Caring for Loved Ones with Dementia | S5E2

Caring for aging parents or loved ones — especially those with dementia — can take a deep emotional toll. In this episode, we’ll speak with a therapist or mental health professional about the mental and emotional effects of caregiving, including burnout, guilt, grief, and stress. Then we’ll hear from a caregiver who shares their honest experience: the exhaustion, the emotional complexity, and the deep sense of connection that can come from spending this time with a loved one. It’s a look at both the challenges and the moments of meaning that come with showing up day after day.
