On this episode, Molly shares her personal experience with her Aunt Cathy, and advice about caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s.

She emphasizes the importance of:

Meeting them where they are and getting rid of expectations to improve quality of life
Decreasing stressors, because stress can be detrimental as cognition declines
Being present, and being in the moment, to help you find peace in the midst of caregiving
Joining them in activities for better engagement and outcomes
Joining them in their reality to reduce isolation (and to have fun!)
Finding the joy, because this journey can bring beautiful joys that you wouldn’t have known or experienced otherwise
Recognizing that caregiving can create deep and meaningful bonds
Knowing that you are not alone in this journey
