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

254. How to Make Hard Medical Decisions in Dementia Care


Listen Later

What happens when your medical knowledge says one thing… but your heart, your husband, and your faith point in a different direction?

In this episode, Lizette sits down with Anne, a physical therapist, wife, and Christian caregiver. Anne is navigating the heartbreaking changes in her husband Joel, who has a shunt, possible dementia, and a growing resistance to further medical testing.

Anne knows what tests might give more clarity. But Joel says he’s done.

She wants answers. But she also wants to respect his wishes.
And somewhere in the middle, guilt keeps whispering:
“Are you doing enough?”

This honest episode is for every Christian spouse caught between advocacy and submission, action and acceptance, love and guilt.

 

Guilt thrives in uncertainty. But clarity creates peace.

When you ask the hard questions early…

When you honor the answers…
When you trust God with what you can’t fix…

You release the weight that was never yours to carry.

🎧 Tune in to Episode 254 and hear Anne’s powerful story of love, faith, and letting go of guilt—while still being the caregiver her husband needs most.
