Millennial Caregiver Series: I’m Raising Kids and Caring for My Mom

Millennial Caregiver Series: I’m Raising Kids and Caring for My Mom

Some days you're helping with homework. Other days you're sitting in a neurologist's office. Most days, you're doing both — and wondering if you're giving enough to anyone. When you're raising children while caring for a parent with dementia, it can feel like you're being pulled in every direction.

In this heartfelt episode of The Disappearing Mind, host Dawn Platt explores the unique challenges facing the "sandwich generation" — balancing parenthood, relationships, a career, and dementia caregiving — all at the same time. It's a season of life few people expect, and one that can leave you feeling stretched, exhausted, and torn between the people who need you most. Dawn shares compassionate guidance on navigating caregiver guilt, protecting your relationships, helping children understand dementia, and finding grace when there are no perfect answers.

If you've ever wondered how to care for everyone without losing yourself, this episode offers practical encouragement, fresh perspective, and hope for the journey ahead.
