​Heartburn can make you, the caregiver, uncomfortable. Heartburn can make your loved one with dementia uncomfortable. Rather than adding another medication, try Full Leaf Tea Company Heartburn Relief Tea. I have been drinking it each morning for a few months, and I am astonished at how much better I feel. Here is the link to order it - https://bit.ly/3XjhYi1

​While visiting your loved one with dementia, did you notice a change in their abilities? It is part of the process, but it can be quite disturbing. I'm here to help you. Write me at carol@letstalkdementia.org .

​If you are expecting Christmas to be perfect, you are expecting TOO MUCH.  ​Maybe letting go of perfection will make the holiday more meaningful for YOU and your loved one with dementia.

​Be careful what you give your folks with dementia as a gift at Christmas. I have a great idea for you!

Life can throw a curve ball (or two) your way.  How you handle it will be a sign of your gratitude.  
​I'm learning that the hard way!

The year 2030 will ring in with more senior citizens than folks under age 18.  
​If you are one of those seniors, what are you doing to be healthy?

​There are over 200 types of dementia.  I had a friend's husband show concern that she might have dementia.  I hope this story will make you giggle AND understand dementia a bit better.

When you pass away, who gets your "stuff?"  Who receives your cash, savings accounts, life insurance, etc?  I am working with a family who is experiencing more issues than they should all because one account was incorrectly handled.  Not fun.

We all know life can change in a minute, but when you live through a hurricane, that statement becomes very real.  Another "very real" thing is this - people are good!  I am so appreciative of all the individuals who are stepping up to help other people.  To donate to our Ian Relief Fund, go to www.letstalkdementia.org/donations.  THANK YOU!

If the future is not real, then what is?  How does that affect caregiving?
