If you’re caring for a parent with dementia, you know how quickly life can shift. One moment you’re having breakfast together, and the next, you’re explaining the same thing for the fifth time, while trying not to break down. Caring for someone with dementia is not just a task. It’s a deeply emotional, often exhausting role filled with love, confusion, grief, and unspoken guilt. Yet, you show up… again and again. Why? Because you love them. But who’s showing up for you?
