238. Is Using Your Parent’s Money For Dementia Respite Care The Right thing To Do
As a Christian caregiver, you may feel torn between honoring your aging parent and taking care of yourself. The guilt runs deep—especially when it comes to spending your parent’s money on paid care.
In Episode 238, we hear from Jamila, an only child caring for her 96-year-old mother. Her question is one many caregivers silently carry:
“Is it okay to use my mom’s money to hire help so I can take a break?”
Jamila left the conversation with clarity and peace. Not because her circumstances changed overnight, but because she realized she didn’t have to feel guilty anymore.
Christian caregiver, hear this:
👉 You are not dishonoring your parent by needing help.
👉 You are not selfish for using their resources to care for them well.
👉 You are not failing—you are faithfully stewarding what God has placed in your hands.
