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

252. Therapeutic Truth-Telling: A Better Way to Respond to Delusions in Dementia


Listen Later

Dementia doesn’t just steal memory—it can distort perception. Paulette’s mom forgets short-term details, grows paranoid, and even plans to have neighbors take her to the bank to “check” if she’s being stolen from—all while Paulette is the one managing her finances, her care, and her household.

The hardest part?

She’s doing everything out of love… and still being doubted.

But this episode reminds us: not every moment is about dementia behavior. There’s always something deeper going on—and that’s why we need a biblical lens to see it clearly.

When accusations arise and trust breaks down, it’s easy to feel like you’ve failed. But caregiving with dementia isn’t just practical—it’s spiritual. You’re navigating heartbreak, identity loss, and deep relational wounds all at once.

🎧 Tune in to Episode 252 to hear Paulette’s story and discover the tools, grace, and truth that will carry you through the hardest parts of dementia caregiving—with God’s help.
