262. How To Still Be A Good Dementia Caregiver When You Can't Be There All The Time
Linda answered my signature question with a sigh:
“Six months from today? I just want to let go of the guilt of being there all the time.”
Episode 262 invites every Christian caregiver to wrestle with that same ache. Linda’s 89-year-old mom (post-stroke, post-fall) and her 91-year-old dad live fifteen minutes away. One midnight call changed everything; now Linda’s phone sits on the nightstand like an alarm she can’t snooze. Visits to her out-of-state grandchildren feel selfish.
Even a quiet dinner with her husband feels risky. She is present—but not free.
If guilt is stealing your rest, join our Ask the Dementia Coach Q&A on June 28 (3 p.m. ET). Bring your questions; leave with a plan rooted in grace, not condemnation.
