guidance, grit, and grace for caregivers

I don’t personally know anyone with dementia, but this audiobook really broadened my understanding. It's not just another clinical guide, it’s full of real stories, helpful strategies, and an empathetic tone that makes it feel personal. The author does a great job of balancing practical advice with emotional support, which I imagine is a lifeline for caregivers. The sections on communication and managing difficult behaviors were especially eye-opening; I can imagine how much they’d help someone in the trenches of caregiving. I also appreciated the mix of personal stories and scriptures, offering not just practical tips but emotional support too. Even as an outsider, this gave me a new perspective on what caregivers go through. If you're in that role, I can see this being an invaluable resource.

Gain a new perspective

There have been multiple cases of dementia in my family. Because of this, I have spent a lot of time learning an awful lot about the disease and the way it affects the person with it. However, after talking with a friend about how burnt out she was from taking care of her parent with dementia, I realized I hadn't looked enough at the way the disease affects the caregivers. This book not only opens your eyes to that issue, but gives actual useful advice on things you can do to really keep yourself going in a caregiver role, or things you can start doing to prepare to be a caregiver for someone who is likely to develop dementia.
