A listener wrote in to tell of her mother's experience singing at church.  This is the best story, and I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as we talk about the beauty of her mother's singing experience.  (P.S. - She was the only one in the congregation standing to sing!!!)

A listener wrote in that her mother wants to sleep on the sofa rather than her comfy bed.  She was quite concerned about her mother's desire to do this.  I, on the other hand, think it is something we should not be worried over in the least.  What do you think?   [email protected]

We must tend our garden that grows FAITH, HOPE and LOVE.  How are you doing taking care of these things in your life?  Are you taking care of yourself so you can help your loved one?  My guess is you might need to water that garden.  This episode will encourage you as you become the best person and caregiver possible.

Something doesn't smell so good, and it just might be your loved one with dementia.  What should you do if they don't want to bathe?  That is today's topic.  If you would like to sponsor "Let's Talk Dementia" - email us at [email protected].

It is important we all remain physically and mentally active.  It is good for the body, the brain, the emotions, - well - pretty much everything, but there are times in our lives that we just need to be left alone.  Today's episode is of a 98 year old woman who does NOT want to play BINGO.  I'm with her!  Sometimes you just want to sit in your chair and be still.  Let me know your thoughts - [email protected] .

Advanced stage dementia can lead to the ME ME ME phase. Everything is about the constant needs of our loved ones, and they are quick to verbalize these needs - CONSTANTLY. It can drive us caregivers bonkers!

 

 

It's 2019, and December was a tough month in our caregiving journey.  Wheelchairs, face planting, and the stresses of life all hit big for us.  This podcast will update you on our Alzheimer's Dementia journey.

 

I am enjoying giving copies of the book ONE INCREDIBLE SAVIOR, by Max Lucado, to many folks this Christmas season.  My husband and I are enjoying reading it together each morning.  Today I want to share with you a chapter entitled "A Little Piece of Heaven".   I hope this reading will bring you hope and a sense of awe and wonder you might have been missing in the busyness of caregiving.  Blessings and smiles.  (Click the picture of the book to order your copy.)

Life is better when we are acknowledged.  Having our thoughts and feelings validated brings a sense of peace that we all crave.  This doesn't change when we have dementia.  Today's episode addresses that topic.
