Aging & Spirituality

Caregivers Finding Calm in the Storm of Dementia


Listen Later

Life can present new challenges as we age, ourselves, or those we love. You may find yourself caring for a parent or loved one experiencing dementia, a condition that can bring not only physical changes but also behavioral shifts. This can be especially difficult when these changes manifest as aggression or outbursts.


In this episode of Aging & Spirituality, we'll explore the emotional toll of caring for someone experiencing the onset of dementia. We'll also delve into techniques for staying centered and making clear decisions amid these challenging situations.


We'll hear from our co-host, Chris, whose daughter is grappling with her father's dementia and aggressive behavior, and explore best practices - like meditation - that can help cultivate inner peace for caregivers.


Join us as we seek ways to navigate the complexities of aging with compassion and understanding. Please use this episode to send us your experiences, what has worked for you, and all feedback on what will help caregivers in this situation.
