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

256. How To Get Help When No One Else Really Understands Your Loved One With Dementia


Listen Later

If you've ever felt like the sole interpreter of your loved one’s life—translating their stories, guarding their dignity, and trying to explain behaviors that confuse others—you’re not alone. 

In Episode 256, we meet Marty, a Filipina caregiver caring for her British husband in the Philippines. Her story is rich with love... and layered with cultural complexity.

Marty isn’t just a wife. She’s become the memory keeper, the translator, the full-time caregiver, and the only person who understands where her husband’s mind wanders when dementia takes hold.

 

You may feel like the only one who understands. But you don’t have to walk this journey alone. There is help. There is wisdom. And there is grace for every misunderstanding.

Let God use your love—and your story—as a bridge. Because He sees. He knows. And He’s with you both.
