There's nothing more powerful than storytelling, so we asked Marcy Silva, her mother’s daughter and a caregiver, to share her experience of caring for her mother who lives with dementia. Marcy opens up about the unique challenges of caregiving in a rural tribal community, including how she incorporates cultural practices and beliefs into her routine.
As a natural storyteller, Marcy takes us through her emotional journey from first noticing changes in her mother's behavior to becoming her primary advocate. She discusses how cultural traditions have supported her experience, while offering practical advice on balancing family responsibilities with caregiving duties, finding support networks, and advocating effectively within healthcare systems. Her resilience and wisdom offer hope and guidance to anyone who is walking a similar path.
