Stepping in to help a loved one with dementia isn’t always straightforward—especially when you’re supporting a brother-in-law, a sister, or another relative without being their primary caregiver.
How do you offer real, meaningful help without overstepping?
We explore how caregivers can navigate complex family dynamics while providing essential support with wisdom and faith.
Family caregiving comes with emotional weight, but trusting God’s guidance can bring clarity. Instead of stressing over things outside of your control, focus on where you can serve with wisdom and love.
This episode reminds caregivers that God calls us to both help and set healthy boundaries, ensuring we don’t carry burdens we were never meant to bear alone.
