Are You a Christian Family Caregiver Feeling Worn Thin by Dementia or Alzheimer’s? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure this out by yourself. Welcome to Dementia Caregiver Support for Christians, the podcast that helps you stop reacting in crisis and start stewarding this season with clarity, calm, and Christ-centered care. Whether you’re a spouse, adult child, or family member trying to walk this journey faithfully, this show meets you at the intersection of practical dementia guidance and biblical encouragement—so you can care for your loved one without losing yourself, your marriage, or your mind. Here, we answer the questions Christian caregivers are actually asking: ✅ What are the stages of Alzheimer’s disease, and how can I prepare for each stage as a caregiver? ✅ How do I survive dementia caregiving without burnout? ✅ How do I handle aggressive or challenging dementia behaviors – like hitting, yelling, or refusing care? ✅ What is sundowning and how can I manage it? ✅ When is it time to move my loved one to a memory care facility or nursing home? ✅ Why does my loved one with dementia keep asking the same questions repeatedly, and how should I respond? ✅ How can I get my loved one with dementia to bathe or maintain hygiene when they resist? ✅ How do I prevent my loved one from wandering or getting lost? ✅ How do I balance caring for my loved one and other responsibilities (kids, job, spouse) without feeling guilty? ✅ What does dementia caregiving look like from a Christian perspective? ✅ How can I maintain my faith and trust in God while caring for someone with dementia? ✅ Why would God allow my loved one to suffer from Alzheimer’s? ✅ How can I cope with caregiver guilt as a Christian? ✅ What does the Bible say about honoring and caring for elderly parents with dementia? ✅ How do I care for my parent with dementia without losing my marriage? This podcast isn’t just about surviving—it’s about stewarding. Because caregiving isn’t a detour from your life. It’s part of your calling. Each episode offers: ✔️ Biblical clarity in the middle of emotional fog ✔️ Practical, research-informed strategies you can actually use ✔️ Guidance that honors your loved one and protects your most important relationships ✔️ Peace of mind that you’re not walking this road alone You won’t find sugarcoating here. You’ll find real help, thoughtful reflection, and truth rooted in Scripture—spoken plainly, practically, and with care. 🎧 Subscribe now to Dementia Caregiver Support for Christians and take the next faithful step forward—with peace, purpose, and a voice you can trust. 📍 Find free resources and tools at: ThinkDifferentDementia.com 📧 Email: lizette@thinkdifferentdementia.com 🙏 May the Lord bless and keep you—and I’ll see you in the next episode.

If you've ever felt like the sole interpreter of your loved one’s life—translating their stories, guarding their dignity, and trying to explain behaviors that confuse others—you’re not alone.
In Episode 256, we meet Marty, a Filipina caregiver caring for her British husband in the Philippines. Her story is rich with love... and layered with cultural complexity.
Marty isn’t just a wife. She’s become the memory keeper, the translator, the full-time caregiver, and the only person who understands where her husband’s mind wanders when dementia takes hold.
You may feel like the only one who understands. But you don’t have to walk this journey alone. There is help. There is wisdom. And there is grace for every misunderstanding.
Let God use your love—and your story—as a bridge. Because He sees. He knows. And He’s with you both.
