261. What Happens After Caregiving Ends? Why You Need a Plan Now
✈️ Walking to Sweden without a map?
That’s what many of us do in dementia care.
We start out with love and conviction—but no plan. Episode 261 changes that. Lizette Cloete introduces the DigniCare Lens: one life-shaping question that forces you to think beyond today’s appointments and outbursts.
“Three years from now, when caregiving is over, what must be true for you to say by God’s grace you walked it well— and still have life to serve Him next?”
Why It Matters
🩺 30 % of caregivers die before the person they serve.
💔 Burnout now simply shifts the burden to someone else later.
✝️ Stewardship means planning for their eternity—and your future.
Key Takeaways
Begin with the end in mind (Psalm 90:12).
Steward two lives —yours and theirs.
Ask the DigniCare Lens question today, not after you crash.
Pam, a former client, says this single question changed her entire journey: “It gave me a way to know I wouldn’t regret the road when Mom was gone.”
💬 Struggling to talk with a loved one who has dementia?
✝️ Speak calm, not just words.
