When Caregiving Changes Your Entire Life | Arky Jones & Lisa Berlanga on Dementia and Family
Description
Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.
Caregiving can begin with one decision — and suddenly nothing about life feels the same.
On this episode of Peek Inside, Arky Jones speaks with Lisa Berlanga about the reality of caring for her mother through dementia. Rather than giving a polished version of caregiving, Lisa talks about the anger, isolation, exhaustion, grief and dark humour that can come with trying to hold a family together while someone you love is slowly changing.
She also shares how her perspective shifted over time, from feeling trapped by the situation to accepting the role she had chosen and finding meaning in the moments that remained.
It is a conversation about love, duty, identity and learning how to keep going without completely losing yourself.
