Episode Details

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.

Even when they can’t say your name, they can still feel His peace through you.
