224. How To Let Go Of Dementia Caregiver Guilt and Shame

Dementia caregiving is a journey filled with uncertainty, emotional highs and lows, and overwhelming moments. But what if you could recognize patterns and respond with confidence instead of frustration? 
Today we explore a live coaching session where a caregiver learns how to manage emotional struggles, reduce stress, and approach caregiving with faith and practical strategies.

A key takeaway from this episode is the importance of not being too hard on yourself. You are showing up, learning, and doing your best—and that matters.

Remember:
🙏 God equips you for this journey, even when you feel unprepared.
🙏 You don’t have to be perfect; you just have to be present.
🙏 Your loved one’s reactions are not a reflection of your failure—they are part of the disease.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by caregiving, you are not alone. 
By using tools like the PEACE Framework, recognizing patterns, and leaning on faith and community, you can find peace in the chaos.
