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

248. How One Physician Juggles Full Time Dementia Caregiving and Family (Part 1)


Listen Later

What happens when a trained pediatrician suddenly becomes a full-time dementia caregiver? You might think that a medical background would make things easier. 

But for Dr. Beth, it was the start of a deeply emotional, confusing, and surprisingly human journey.

In this episode, we hear her honest story—how her mother-in-law’s sudden decline and unexpected recovery turned their family’s world upside down. If you’ve ever felt like you were thrown into caregiving with no clear plan, this episode will resonate deeply.

This episode reminds us that no matter your background, dementia caregiving will stretch you in ways nothing else can. And that’s okay. You’re not failing—you’re learning.

Dr. Beth’s story is a powerful example of how faith, flexibility, and practical support can turn a chaotic season into one of growth and connection.

🎧 Tune in to Episode 248 to hear her journey, and walk away with renewed hope that even in the hard moments, you are not alone.
