Theba's YouTube Channel51 min - Don't You Remember? | Theba's Story
#001. I was a caregiver for my father who had Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and I’m currently a caregiver for my mother with Alzheimer’s. Divorced and living in two different states, they were both diagnosed in 2017, but showed cognitive memory issues years prior. In that same year I moved my Dad into an apartment closer to me, literally 5 blocks away. Within a year I needed to hire professional help to take care of him as I divided my time between two households and working a full-time job. Some of it is still a blur, but the arrival of my brother in 2019 was pivotal as we both focused on making sure both Mom and Dad were safe and comfortable. Dad died November of 2019. This year I went part-time at my job to give Mom more focused attention and in return, pay more attention to my physical and mental health as we walk this journey together. I asked my friend and co-worker, Ashley King, to sit with me to help tell just part of my story.

About "Don't You Remember?"
From the publisher's feed
"Don't you remember?" They are three common words. Yet, when spoken too often, they’re cause for alarm. When your loved ones begin their journey into dementia, your own life-altering pilgrimage is…
set in motion. The path holds countless challenges including grief, despair, and joy: often all in a single day. The fear of not knowing what to do first can be overwhelming. For me, being proactive instead of reactive was empowering. Through these podcasts, I hope to give you tools in the form of resources and shared experiences, so you realize you’re not alone. I’m Theba. For the past 25 years, I have worked in TV News. I’m also the daughter of parents who lived in two different states, Illinois and Arkansas, when each were diagnosed with dementia in the same year. I entered into a season of intense anxiety and helplessness. I’d seen a few movies about older adults having memory problems and the sadness and difficulties their families faced, but I felt far removed from that reality. In my family cancer and old age claimed my relatives. The word dementia was new to me until an aggressive form of the disease took my father. I was the sole caregiver for my mother who lived with Alzheimer’s until her death in 2024. Though very difficult, the struggles of caring for parents with dementia have also revealed great joy! I started sharing my experiences on television during the pandemic of 2020. In my heart, I knew there were many just like me trying to understand and adapt to caring for a loved one. The people I’ve met along the way have offered life-changing advice and support. My mission now is to encourage you on your own journey. I know God has been my strength and hope along the way and has led me to this new season of sharing so that you too can find comfort from those who do remember.
