Dementia Caregiver Support for Christians: Tips for Alzheimer’s & Dementia Caregivers to Manage Stress, Prevent Burnout & Handle Difficult Behaviors

234. How To Not Feel Stuck While Waiting On A Dementia Diagnosis


Listen Later

Are you waiting for a definitive diagnosis before making a plan for your loved one’s care? Many caregivers feel stuck, holding off on decisions until they “know for sure” what’s happening. 

But the reality is, waiting can mean missing valuable time to take proactive steps.

In Episode 234, we explore a real-life coaching session with Jodi, a caregiver for her husband recently diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Together, we unpack why early action—even before a crisis—makes all the difference.

You don’t need to wait for a crisis or a definitive diagnosis to start making positive changes. Small, intentional steps today—from supporting brain health to creating a structured routine—can make a big difference in your loved one’s well-being.

Uncertainty is part of the journey, but God equips us with wisdom, strength, and faith to act now. Trust in His guidance, take proactive steps, and know that you are not alone in this process.
