The Caregiver’s Tightrope: Balancing Dementia, Family, and Self Care

The Caregiver’s Tightrope: Balancing Dementia, Family, and Self Care

Are you struggling to balance caring for a parent with dementia while juggling your own family, career, and life? In this raw and honest episode of The Disappearing Mind, host Dawn Platt opens up about the complex emotions of being part of the "sandwich generation" - those caring for both aging parents and their own families. Drawing from her 30+ years of experience as a National Dementia Trainer and her personal journey as a caregiver, Dawn tackles the often unspoken feelings of obligation, guilt, and overwhelming expectations that come with dementia caregiving. Whether you're currently caring for a parent with dementia or anticipating this role in your future, this episode offers practical guidance on setting realistic expectations, finding support, and maintaining your own well-being while navigating this challenging journey.
