Today, I share my profound reflections on the past year since my husband, Doug, moved into memory care. As I recount the heart-wrenching, gut-wrenching, and transformative experiences of navigating dementia, I hope to offer solace and understanding to those in similar situations.
“When you love someone with all your heart and you have dreams and plans and you share these little secrets, right? You have these little code words and they’re your person, they’re the ones that you call when you see something funny or you have these little symbols, you have these inside jokes, you have these plans and these dreams that are gone, taken out right from underneath you. The rug pulled out. You had no say in it.”
Join me as I delve into the emotional turmoil, the difficult decisions, and the invaluable lessons I’ve learned along the way. We’ll also discuss the importance of asking for help, finding compassionate support, and ultimately, turning pain into peace.
This episode is a heartfelt message to anyone struggling with a loved one’s dementia, affirming that you are not alone and you matter. Get ready to embark on a powerful journey of empathy, rage, love, and hope.
If you’re ready to heal and find peace, please schedule a complimentary consultation.
