- How to keep showing up when you can't see any light at the end of the tunnel? Dementia caregiver burnout is a real issue (trust me, I know)! If you're a family caregiver - caring for someone with dementia or just caring for elderly parents - showing up day after day can be a daunting task.
This video was made straight from my heart to yours. I hope it will inspire you to keep showing up and sing the song in their heart when they've forgotten how it goes. This too shall pass!

CAREGIVER INSPIRATION - Inspiring & Equipping YOU to Keep a Song in Their Heart ❤
Are you caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or Dementia? I created ‘Caregiver Inspiration’ to be a source of hope for you and to help you navigate this journey of a lifetime.
I was 21 when I fell into the role of a full time caregiver to my Grandma who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. What initially felt like the end of my world became a beautiful new chapter of life, full of moments I will cherish forever!
Though she’s no longer with us, my heart goes out to family caregivers like you who are caring for a loved one right now. Caregiver stress and burnout are a real thing. Whether you’re caring for someone with dementia at home and you need tips on how to manage dementia behaviors or you just need some inspiration to put the spark back into your heart, I’m here to support you in whatever way I can.
My heart is with you, my friend. You do have what it takes, and you are not alone.

This is exactly what my wife, who is an only child, is going through with her 94 yo mother. Thank You for this beautiful video and tips.
Aw... It’s not an easy journey…but it can be rewarding. Thanks for being a support to your wife through it! She’s blessed to have you.
My mother had Dementia and I moved her to my house to care for her I was not going to put her in a home my mother took care of me and my siblings and worked I don't know how people can put there parents in a home and not care of them when they grow up it's there turn to take care of them not put them away somewhere with strangers you are right now I'm 60 years old and my granddaughter is living with me and she takes care of me I'm not that helpless yet but I tell her as I get older it will be more harder for me to do things and she will have to help me a lot more I'm so glad that I have her with me
Your mother was blessed to have you so willing to care for her. ❤️ How wonderful that you and your granddaughter have each other too; precious memories to be made by the two of you!
Thank you. 🙏❤️
I cry while listening to you. Thank you beautiful soul ❤️
Well I don’t think it’s really fair to lump people that use assisted living arrangements as somehow shirking their duties. Sometimes those things can’t be helped depending on the needs of the person. That’s adding guilt on top of guilt. Have grace 6:08 instead. Everyone’s circumstances are different.
Just sending prayer for you this morning. I'm for you. My grandmother died from Alzheimer's years back. I learned a lot of what was really going on from that.
Thanks so much 😂 I'm taking care of my wife who's suffering from Dimentia. I cried several times a day because I Love 💗 her so much.
I’m sorry, that’s so hard. She’s blessed to have your love.
Rudy I am there too Hang in there! No one knows how much time we have left. Two weeks ago they told me I had three weeks left but I resolved to take it one day at a time
Christ gives us the perfect perspective every time. This is a worthy message, thank you for it.
He does indeed! ❤ Thanks for taking a moment to connect, I’m glad this touched your heart.
Wonderfully honoring your Grandmother!
Aw... thank you so much, Jonnie. 🙂

Thank you. I know my husband and I have a way to go on this race with his Mom. She lives with us now and sometimes it's so hard to be patient when she's sundowning, or when I'm trying to get her ready for an appointment and she stops every few moments to look down at her feet and ask if she's wearing the right shoes. We've had to lock some things in a closet because she keeps rummaging through OUR stuff and using our things -toothbrushes, for example; I had to buy us new ones and lock them up, even though we have two toothbrushes for her -one in the upstairs bathroom, one in the downstairs bathroom.
That’s so challenging… sounds like you’re both making an effort to be as patient and understanding as you’d like her to be if your roles were reversed. Bless you for helping her through this. ❤
♥️
Thanks for all you do
Thank YOU for all you do, Mark. Not an easy journey you’re on. 🤍
Ps. dr newport, that people were writing in and saying a great number were saying people were snacking or more sweets on and on, hiding snacks,,. One reported they would eat cookies almost as fast they ate them and barely gained any weight. She thought it was tithe brain needing energy but it was substituting sweets. That's the way I understood it. I don't see well and my typing goes south a lot, sorry,
Thank you. Truly inspiring.
I’m so glad you found inspiration in this! 🤍 Thanks for taking time to reach out.
Beautiful
Just thing of you with prayers
I take both then,, coconut oil oil. A brother started taking it. In about 4 months or a bit I asked him are u having these really old ancient memories suddenly popping up all of a sudden.. he immediately turned at to me and said yes! Now a grandparent in the 80s started on it.
See how Dr Haley and her husband points 6 points I believe in an Alzheimer's type test in a short time. It was coconut oil remember,,not fish oil on that, I'm just trying to just want you again to know I'm for u and prayers.
What does Coconut oil do help them remember better what about coconut water would that do the same thing as coconut oil I wood like to try that to help me
Fish oil also causes brain cell regeneration, source,,the army, and also, see the sago mine disaster victim and his recovery,,they gave him fish oil.
Thanks for that, Debbi! Yes, I too have read that Omega-3 Oils (found in fish oils) are essential for brain health...in ANY healthy adult, not just those with Alzheimer’s.
Hoping that One day soon our geniuses researching people will announce a discovery of a cure instead of how to prevent Dimentia.
Oh, I hope so too!
Go check out a book by Mary t Newport called Alzheimer's what if there was a cure. She admits it's an exaggerated title to,get attention but her husband had a noticeable improvement when she started him on coconut oil. He still couldn't drive or handle money. But she's on to something in this book. Easy reading. Bee sending prayers to any who happen on this. I'm for you. Im68 and don't see well. Just know somebody is praying for you. I hope u can read.
YES Thank you for sharing this, Debbi! I haven’t read the book yet but saw an interview with her which inspired me to start cooking grandmas meals with coconut oil and hiding them in snacks (there are some great “coconut oil chocolate” recipes!).
We definitely noticed a difference in her mental abilities on those days. Also removing gluten and sugar seemed to help.
Thanks for taking time to leave a comment, and for your prayers for the caregivers out there ❤️
