What happens when someone you love starts forgetting who you are? And what happens when you start disappearing too?
Welcome to The Caregiver Clinic, the podcast for adult children navigating the heartbreak of caring for a parent with dementia.
Hosted by Dr. Amy Paul, a geriatrician, dementia specialist, and daughter who's walked this path, this isn't another clinical lecture that forgets you're human. This is your soft place to land.
In each episode, we get brutally honest about memory loss, anticipatory grief, losing yourself in someone else's illness, and the kind of love that refuses to give up—even when it's killing you. You'll hear from caregivers who've been exactly where you are, experts who understand what you're going through, and people living with dementia who want their voices heard.
This podcast is for you if:
- You're parenting your parent, and nobody prepared you for this role
- You don't recognize the person in the mirror anymore
- You miss being someone's child instead of being their nurse, maid, and bodyguard
- You're grieving someone who's still here but slowly fading away
- You're tired of being invisible while everyone asks about "them" but never about you
We'll share the things no one taught you in those overwhelming hospital hallways—how to recognize early signs, advocate for yourself when you're drowning, set boundaries that let you sleep through the night, and practice the radical act of grieving while they're still here.
Because even in the fog of this horrible disease, joy is still possible. Connection is still sacred. And you still matter.
You've been everyone else's lifeline. Let this be yours.
