“I love my mom… but I miss my marriage.”
If you've ever whispered this in the quiet, exhausted corners of your day, this blog is for you.
In Episode 260, Lizette walks alongside Paulette, a Christian woman navigating the daily strain of caregiving for her mother while trying to preserve a two-year-old marriage.
Paulette lives apart from her husband so she can care full-time for her mom—and the emotional, spiritual, and logistical costs are piling up.
💔 When Chaos Becomes the New Normal
For Paulette, chaos isn’t just a feeling—it’s a fact:Her daughter and grandkids lived with her.Her brother just had a stroke.Her job was lost.Her husband is waiting for weekend visits that rarely happen.
Can you relate?
As the caregiver, scheduler, nurse, and mediator, Paulette’s roles are swallowing her identity as a wife. And as Lizette lovingly points out, that’s not just overwhelming—it’s spiritually misaligned.
🛡️ Don’t Wait for the Breakdown
Too many caregivers wait until their marriage cracks, their health collapses, or a crisis forces action. Paulette’s story is a gentle, grace-filled call to plan now—not later.
Let’s remember:🕊️ God is not a God of confusion, but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33).👣 Begin with the end in mind.💬 Therapeutic Truth-Telling™ sets the stage for real healing.

Ever feel like you’re rowing the dementia care boat alone while everyone else shouts directions—or just enjoys the ride?
In Episode 259, Lizette introduces the Anchor Care Matrix™—a powerful framework to reduce family conflict by defining roles based on two questions:
How involved are you in daily care?How much authority do you actually have?
Once you answer these, you’ll see the four types of caregiving roles emerge:
🛑 Care Observer – Low authority, low involvement. Lots of opinions, little action.📜 Care Steward – High authority, low involvement. Think distant decision-makers.💪 Care Advocate – Low authority, high involvement. The ones doing the work but not making the calls.⚓ Care Anchor – High authority, high involvement. Carrying the weight of care and decisions.🎯 Misalignment—when involvement and authority don’t match—is the root of most caregiving conflict.
Biblical stories like Ruth (advocate) and the Good Samaritan (anchor) remind us: caregiving is a sanctifying stewardship journey. Clarity in roles = peace in the process.
Want to shift from frustration to alignment? Listen now and redefine your family’s path forward.

“I still visit. I still pray. But am I even a caregiver anymore?”
Larry’s question cuts to the heart of so many Christian caregivers walking the final stretch of dementia. In Episode 258 of Dementia Caregiver Support for Christians, we walk with Larry, a husband navigating what many call “ambiguous grief”—grieving a spouse who is still alive, yet slowly disappearing.
It’s the emotional tension of being present, yet invisible. Devoted, yet forgotten. Still loving, but unsure what that love should look like now.
Whether your loved one recognizes you or not… your love is not in vain. God sees. God sanctifies. God strengthens. This season of caregiving- though quieter, lonelier and slower- is still a part of God's design for your life.. As Lizette reminds us, your care is part of your sanctification journey, and yes, even now, it still brings glory to God.

“Am I still doing this out of love… or just because I’m afraid to stop?”
If that question has crossed your mind in the quiet moments—between pill reminders, another load of laundry, or the third night in a row of disrupted sleep—you’re not alone.
In Episode 257 of Dementia Caregiver Support for Christians, Lizette dives into three hidden motivations that often lead to caregiver burnout. This isn’t about how much you’re doing—it’s about why you’re doing it. And the answer could change everything.
You’re not stuck. You don’t need to scrap everything or run away. You just need to identify your motive, bring it before the Lord, and shift into a place of intentional, Christ-centered caregiving.
That’s the journey Lizette walked—and the one she now guides others through.

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.

“I didn’t choose this—but I keep showing up. What now?”
If you've ever felt like the reluctant caregiver—the one who didn’t raise their hand but just… showed up—today's episode of Dementia Caregiver Support for Christians is your invitation to stop surviving and start stewarding.
Lizette shares why so many overwhelmed spouses, adult children, and even grandkids stay emotionally stuck: not because they aren’t doing the work, but because they haven’t made the spiritual shift to owning the role God has already assigned.
You may not feel equipped. But that doesn’t disqualify you. God equips those He calls—often in the walking, not just the waiting.
Caregiving doesn’t have to mean confusion. When you anchor your role in biblical truth, you stop reacting and start leading. That’s what the Think Different Dementia Method™ is all about.

What happens when your medical knowledge says one thing… but your heart, your husband, and your faith point in a different direction?
In this episode, Lizette sits down with Anne, a physical therapist, wife, and Christian caregiver. Anne is navigating the heartbreaking changes in her husband Joel, who has a shunt, possible dementia, and a growing resistance to further medical testing.
Anne knows what tests might give more clarity. But Joel says he’s done.She wants answers. But she also wants to respect his wishes.And somewhere in the middle, guilt keeps whispering:“Are you doing enough?”
This honest episode is for every Christian spouse caught between advocacy and submission, action and acceptance, love and guilt.
Guilt thrives in uncertainty. But clarity creates peace.
When you ask the hard questions early…When you honor the answers…When you trust God with what you can’t fix…
You release the weight that was never yours to carry.
🎧 Tune in to Episode 254 and hear Anne’s powerful story of love, faith, and letting go of guilt—while still being the caregiver her husband needs most.

Have you ever said, “Let’s just keep this between us”?Or felt the urge to protect your loved one’s dignity by staying quiet about their dementia diagnosis?
In Episode 253, we uncover the quiet danger of shame-fueled silence—and how it grows into stigma, isolation, and spiritual disconnection. This episode speaks directly to Christian caregivers who are walking the tension between honoring a loved one and hiding a hard truth.
Here’s the message: Stigma thrives in silence—but healing begins in truth.
You are not just caregiving.You are being sanctified through the process.And you don’t need to do it alone.
🎧 Tune in to Episode 253 and learn how to break the silence, invite your community in, and walk this road with grace, truth, and the body of Christ beside you.

Dementia doesn’t just steal memory—it can distort perception. Paulette’s mom forgets short-term details, grows paranoid, and even plans to have neighbors take her to the bank to “check” if she’s being stolen from—all while Paulette is the one managing her finances, her care, and her household.
The hardest part?She’s doing everything out of love… and still being doubted.
But this episode reminds us: not every moment is about dementia behavior. There’s always something deeper going on—and that’s why we need a biblical lens to see it clearly.
When accusations arise and trust breaks down, it’s easy to feel like you’ve failed. But caregiving with dementia isn’t just practical—it’s spiritual. You’re navigating heartbreak, identity loss, and deep relational wounds all at once.
🎧 Tune in to Episode 252 to hear Paulette’s story and discover the tools, grace, and truth that will carry you through the hardest parts of dementia caregiving—with God’s help.

When someone you love is dying with dementia, it can feel like the world is unraveling—emotionally, spiritually, and physically. You're not only saying goodbye slowly, but also wrestling with deep questions of purpose, loss, and eternity.
In Episode 251, recorded just days before her mother’s memorial, Liz shares an incredibly personal message about how Christians can reframe the dying process in dementia caregiving with hope, clarity, and faith.
Using a brand-new framework called the Caregiver Belief Dyad, she walks us through the spiritual dynamics at play in caregiving relationships—and what Scripture reveals about death, dying, and dignity.
Wherever you find yourself—whether in a spiritually alive dyad, a silent struggle, or caring for someone who doesn’t believe—this journey isn’t random. It’s designed. And God is not done with you.

In the middle of the night, your loved one is walking the hallway again. They’re confused. They won’t sleep. And when you try to comfort them, they can’t understand your words—or they respond with fear, not calm.
Sound familiar?
In Episode 250, we return to Dr. Beth’s powerful story of caregiving—not from a distance, but from inside the home. A trained pediatrician, Beth shares what she’s learning as she cares for her mother-in-law, who has dementia, aphasia, and unpredictable emotional responses. This isn’t theory—it’s faith, trial, error, and grace in action.
If your loved one has stopped understanding you, don’t give up. They may not remember what you say, but they’ll remember how you show up. God designed us for relationship—and that includes emotional presence, not just spoken language.
🎧 Tune in to Episode 250 to hear more of Dr. Beth’s honest, faith-filled journey—and walk away with practical tools and hope for your own caregiving story.

Think Differently. Live Purposefully. Care Biblically.
These 10 lies (from Episodes 247 & 249) are heavy—but they’re not the end of the story.God has equipped you for this. He’s walking with you. And He’s inviting you to think and care differently.

What happens when a trained pediatrician suddenly becomes a full-time dementia caregiver? You might think that a medical background would make things easier. But for Dr. Beth, it was the start of a deeply emotional, confusing, and surprisingly human journey.
In this episode, we hear her honest story—how her mother-in-law’s sudden decline and unexpected recovery turned their family’s world upside down. If you’ve ever felt like you were thrown into caregiving with no clear plan, this episode will resonate deeply.
This episode reminds us that no matter your background, dementia caregiving will stretch you in ways nothing else can. And that’s okay. You’re not failing—you’re learning.
Dr. Beth’s story is a powerful example of how faith, flexibility, and practical support can turn a chaotic season into one of growth and connection.
🎧 Tune in to Episode 248 to hear her journey, and walk away with renewed hope that even in the hard moments, you are not alone.

What if the biggest struggles you’re facing as a caregiver aren’t just from the outside—but from the lies you’ve unknowingly believed?
In Episode 247, we expose 5 common lies the world tells Christian dementia caregivers—and replace them with biblical truth that brings peace, clarity, and hope.
If you’ve ever felt like your loved one is “losing themselves,” or you’re “alone in this,” this episode will realign your heart with God’s truth and remind you that caregiving is not just a burden—it’s a calling shaped by God’s sovereign design.
You weren’t called to walk this road alone. You were called to walk it with Christ—and with a church that supports you.
Caregiving is not just a response to decline. It’s a response to God’s call to love, serve, and reflect His character in a broken world.
🎧 Tune in to Episode 247 and break free from these lies so you can walk your caregiving journey with truth, peace, and biblical clarity.

You love your parents. You want to do the right thing. But what if doing “the right thing” could cost you your peace, your marriage, and your health?
In Episode 246, we walk through a raw and honest conversation with a caregiver wrestling with one of the most difficult questions Christian families face:Should I move my parents into my home?
The answer might seem obvious on the surface—rooted in love, duty, or even guilt—but this episode reveals why the right choice isn’t always the easiest one.
If you’re feeling torn, remember this:Saying no to moving your loved one in doesn’t mean you don’t love them.It means you’re protecting your family, your faith, and your future.
🎧 Tune in to Episode 246 to hear this powerful coaching conversation—and learn how to make decisions based on wisdom, not guilt.

Have you ever wondered why the more strategies you learn, the more stressed you feel? You’ve read the books, tried the tools, and still, peace feels just out of reach.
In Episode 245, we explore why true clarity in dementia caregiving doesn’t come from fixing problems—it comes from seeing the journey through God’s eyes. This episode is a heartfelt look at one caregiver’s shift from the medical and self-focused models of care to a biblically rooted, God-honoring framework.
Ephesians 2:10 reminds us:“We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
Caregiving is one of those good works. It’s hard, yes. But it’s also holy. You’re not walking this road by chance. God prepared it for you—and through Him, you can find clarity, peace, and strength.

What do you do when your loved one with dementia looks at you… and calls you their friend instead of their sister?
It’s a moment that feels like a punch in the gut.But what if how they feel with you matters more than what they call you?
In Episode 244, we explore the heart of relationship-centered dementia care—focusing on emotional connection over factual memory. Through a real caregiver conversation with Helen, you’ll learn practical ways to reconnect with your loved one, even when their words and memories begin to fade.
As a Christian caregiver, your goal isn’t just to be remembered—it’s to reflect Christ’s love in every interaction.

Dementia caregiving often begins where the world tells us to start—with the diagnosis, the symptoms, and the stress. But what if we’ve been starting in the wrong place all along?
In Episode 243, we explore how Christian caregivers can shift from the medical model of dementia care to a relationship-centered, biblically grounded approach—one that brings peace, clarity, and God-honoring purpose to a season that often feels overwhelming.
When we shift from a symptom-focused approach to a relationship-centered, God-first mindset, everything changes. We don’t just survive the journey—we walk it with purpose, peace, and perspective.
Let your caregiving be a reflection of God’s love, order, and truth—not the world’s confusion.

Have you ever felt confused—or even frustrated—by your loved one’s fluctuating clarity?
One day, they seem mentally sharp and engaged. The next, they can’t follow a simple conversation.
What’s going on?
In Episode 242, we explore why cognitive decline in dementia isn’t a straight line and how you can respond with wisdom, compassion, and a biblical mindset. You’ll hear a real-life coaching conversation packed with practical insight, spiritual encouragement, and helpful tools for everyday caregiving.
If your loved one seems fine one moment and lost the next, you’re not doing anything wrong. It’s part of the dementia journey.
Instead of reacting with frustration or fear, respond with observation and grace. Watch for patterns. Allow rest. Create routines. Let go of guilt.
And most importantly, trust God with the moments you can’t predict. He sees you. He sees them. And He walks with you both—on the clear days and the confusing ones.

When we think about dementia caregiving, most of us focus on checklists, medications, behavior changes, and coping strategies. But what if we’ve been approaching it all backward?
In Episode 241, we begin a powerful new series that offers a biblical foundation for caregiving. This isn’t just about managing daily tasks—it’s about understanding who God is, who your loved one is, and what He’s doing in and through you.
This episode introduces a Christ-centered framework that will transform how you think, feel, and live out your caregiving calling.
Dementia caregiving can feel overwhelming. But through the lens of Scripture, it becomes something deeper—a calling filled with meaning, growth, and worship.
Your loved one is not lost in God’s eyes.And neither are you.
