215. Essential Tips: How to Manage Delusions in Dementia
When caring for a loved one with dementia, you may encounter behaviors that seem confusing or unsettling—like paranoia or delusions.
How do you respond when your loved one truly believes something that isn’t real or becomes fearful without reason?
We discuss the differences between paranoia and delusions and offer faith-filled strategies to help caregivers navigate these challenges with empathy and patience.
As Christian caregivers, we can draw strength from our faith during difficult caregiving moments. When it feels overwhelming, remembering that God sees and understands your struggles can provide peace and reassurance.
Reflecting on Scriptures such as Psalm 28:7—*“The Lord is my strength and my shield; in Him my heart trusts”—*reminds us that we are never alone in this journey.
If you’ve felt discouraged by your loved one’s paranoia or delusions, remember: it’s not about changing their reality—it’s about meeting them in their emotional space with compassion and grace.
