Are you over-50 and have a parent with dementia? Do you often wonder how you landed in this season of life? Are you worried that your retirement dreams have gotten lost in your caregiving role? Is your health suffering because you ALWAYS put yourself last? Do you feel defeated and wonder who you have become? Do you resent your parent for something that neither of you can control? I GET YOU! In my early 50’s, my husband and I became empty nesters looking forward to a season of life where we could hike, watch sunsets, camp, and reignite our relationship. 6 months later, I became a part-time caregiver to my mother who has FTD dementia while still teaching high-school full time. I started to lose my dreams and my identity as my exhaustion rose and my energy disappeared. But I am a driven person with faith and vision who refuses to let this season of life get the best of me! I have learned more about dementia to help me cope and understand what is happening with my mother. I have developed mindset practices so that I can remain excited about my own dreams without feeling guilty and selfish. I have created systems that help me continue to move the needle on my personal goals, even when I am pulled in 100 different directions and have very broken segments of time. And I want to share my successes, and my failures, with you! So, find a quiet corner, take a few deep calming breaths, and join me as I share how I have maintained peace in the midst of a very unexpected season of life as the daughter of a parent with dementia.
