  74. When Early-Onset Dementia Changes Your Marriage: 5 Ways to Love Your Husband When He’s Not the Same

  Aug 31, 202620 min

  Early-onset dementia changes more than memory and communication. It changes the marriage. You may still love your husband deeply while also grieving the man he used to be. You may miss the conversations, the partnership, the affection, the decision-making, and the feeling of simply being his wife instead of constantly being his caregiver. In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to keep loving your husband when your marriage no longer looks the way it once did. You’ll learn how to stop comparing today’s marriage to the past, recognize love in new forms, separate the disease from the man you love, give yourself permission to grieve, and allow Jesus to fill the places your husband may no longer be able to. We also talk about one simple but powerful practice: creating a “Wife Moment” where you step out of caregiver mode and simply spend intentional time loving the man in front of you. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why comparing your marriage today to the way it used to be can deepen grief and resentment How to recognize connection and love even when they look different Why dementia-related changes can sometimes feel like rejection How grief and faith can exist at the same time Why Jesus must become your steady foundation when your marriage feels uncertain How to create a simple “Wife Moment” this week Scriptures mentioned: Ecclesiastes 7:10 “Do not say, ‘Why were the old days better than these?’ For it is not wise to ask such questions.” Proverbs 16:9 “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” 2 Corinthians 10:5 “We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” Psalm 62:8 “Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.” Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Your challenge this week: Create one intentional Wife Moment. Take a drive. Sit on the porch. Look through pictures. Watch a favorite movie. Hold hands. Listen to your song. Go get ice cream. For just a little while, don’t manage, correct, remind, or fix. Simply be present. Because underneath all the appointments, responsibilities, paperwork, and caregiving, you are still his wife.

  73. Grieving Someone Who Is Still Alive? This Biblical Approach to EOD Caregiving Will Help

  Aug 27, 202611 min

  How do you grieve someone who is still sitting right beside you? Early-onset dementia creates a kind of grief that can be difficult for other people to understand. Your spouse is still here, yet little by little, pieces of the life you once shared may be changing. The conversations change. The partnership changes. Your marriage changes. Parenting changes. Your dreams for the future change. And sometimes, before you've had time to process one loss, another one arrives. This is anticipatory grief, and experiencing it does not mean you don't love your spouse enough or that your faith isn't strong enough. In today's episode of Living With EOD: Biblical Solutions for Caregiver Burnout, we're talking about 7 biblical truths every Christian dementia caregiver needs to hear when grief becomes overwhelming. You'll learn: Why grief and faith can exist at the same time Why dementia creates hundreds of smaller losses that deserve to be acknowledged What Scripture says about God's presence in our brokenhearted seasons How unresolved grief can begin showing up as anger, bitterness, resentment, anxiety, or emotional numbness Why isolation makes grief even heavier Why becoming a dementia caregiver does not erase your God-given purpose Where Christians can find hope when dementia has changed the future they thought they would have Most importantly, we're going beyond simply identifying grief. I'll walk you through five practical steps for navigating grief with God, including naming what you've lost, intentionally spending time in God's presence, finding safe people who can help carry the burden, and choosing connection instead of isolation. Scriptures Mentioned John 11:35 — “Jesus wept.” Ecclesiastes 3:1, 4 — There is a season for everything, including a time to weep and mourn. Psalm 34:18 — “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Ephesians 4:31–32 — Letting go of bitterness, rage, and anger and choosing compassion. Galatians 6:2 — “Carry each other's burdens…” Jeremiah 29:11 — God's plans still include hope and a future. Revelation 21:4 — The promise that one day mourning, crying, pain, and death will be no more. Your Next Step This week, don't try to process every loss dementia has brought into your life. Start with one. Ask yourself: “What am I grieving right now?” Write it down. Name it. Talk to God about it. You don't have to pretend it doesn't hurt in order to trust Him. Grief is not evidence that your faith is failing. Sometimes grief is simply evidence that you have loved deeply. And sweet friend, God is close to you right here in the middle of it.

  72. Why You Can't Seem to Let Go of Anger, and How God Can Turn Things Around as an EOD Caregiver

  Aug 24, 202612 min

  Are you angry about the early-onset dementia diagnosis but feel guilty admitting it? Maybe you're angry at the disease. Angry about everything your family has lost. Angry that your marriage has changed. Angry that other people's lives seem to keep moving forward while yours feels completely different than you ever imagined. And then comes the guilt. Because as a Christian woman, aren't you supposed to trust God? Shouldn't you have more faith? Shouldn't you be able to let the anger go? Friend, anger does not mean you've lost your faith. In this episode of Living with EOD: Biblical Solutions for Caregiver Burnout, we're talking about what may really be underneath your anger and why ignoring it can eventually allow bitterness to take root. You'll discover how grief, exhaustion, comparison, fear, and the loss of control can all fuel anger while caring for a spouse with early-onset dementia. More importantly, we'll walk through practical, biblical ways to bring those emotions before God and begin choosing peace instead. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why anger is often connected to the ongoing grief of early-onset dementia How feeling out of control can create frustration and resentment Why comparing your life and marriage to others can intensify anger The difference between experiencing anger and allowing bitterness to take root Why God's peace isn't dependent on your circumstances getting better How to identify what is really underneath your anger Practical ways to replace comparison with gratitude Why boundaries and rest matter for overwhelmed dementia Care Champions How spending intentional time with God changes the way you respond to difficult circumstances Scriptures Mentioned: Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Proverbs 3:5–6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…” Galatians 6:4–5 Hebrews 12:15 John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you…” Your Takeaway This Week When anger rises, don't immediately condemn yourself for feeling it. Instead, ask: What is underneath this anger? Is it grief? Fear? Exhaustion? Loneliness? Comparison? Feeling completely out of control? Then bring the real hurt to God. You don't have to pretend with Him. He already knows your heart, and He is inviting you to surrender what you're carrying so anger doesn't become bitterness. Peace may not come because the circumstances change. Peace comes because Jesus meets you right in the middle of them.

  71. 3 Truths About EOD Caregiver Burnout and Why the Hustle Mentality Isn't Helping

  Aug 20, 202612 min

  Are you exhausted from trying to do it all? As an early onset dementia caregiver, it's easy to fall into the trap of believing that if you just work harder, stay more organized, or push a little longer, you'll finally catch up. But caregiving isn't a sprint. It's a marathon. And the hustle mentality that the world celebrates often leads to caregiver burnout, emotional exhaustion, resentment, and spiritual emptiness. In this episode, we're taking a biblical look at caregiver burnout and uncovering three powerful truths that will help you exchange exhaustion for God's peace. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why God never intended for you to carry the burden of caregiving alone The difference between productivity and biblical faithfulness Why rest isn't something you have to earn How the hustle mentality contributes to caregiver burnout Four practical ways to break free from constant striving Scripture References: Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Galatians 6:9 "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." Exodus 20:8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." This Week's Faith Challenge: Identify one burden you're carrying that belongs to God. Remove one unnecessary commitment from your schedule. Spend 10 minutes with God every day this week. Schedule one period of intentional rest. Replace productivity with faithfulness. Key Takeaway: You don't have to prove your love through exhaustion. You don't have to earn rest. And you don't have to carry this journey alone. God never called you to hustle your way through caregiving. He called you to walk with Him through it.

  70. Replacing Panic with Peace: Choosing God’s Truth Over Your Circumstances as an Early Onset Dementia Caregiver

  Aug 17, 202611 min

  Does it ever feel like everything is urgent? One hard moment happens, and suddenly your mind races to everything that could go wrong. You feel pressure to make a decision, fix the problem, protect your family, plan for the future, and somehow hold everything together. But what if everything is not an emergency? In this episode of Living with EOD: Biblical Solutions for Caregiver Burnout, we’re talking about how panic can creep into our lives as Early Onset Dementia Care Champions and convince us that everything depends on us. It doesn’t. God never asked you to control every outcome. He asks you to trust Him with what you cannot control. We’ll talk about how fear, urgency, scarcity thinking, and the need for control can steal our peace, especially when we are not intentionally spending time with the Lord and filling our minds with His truth. You’ll learn practical ways to stop reacting from panic, recognize what is actually true in the moment, replace “what if” thinking with faith, and surrender the things you were never meant to carry. In This Episode, We Talk About: Why panic grows when we believe everything depends on us How the enemy uses urgency and fear to keep us overwhelmed Why control cannot give us lasting peace How spending time with God changes the way we respond to our circumstances The difference between reacting from fear and responding from faith How to replace “What if?” with “Even if, God is still faithful” Why surrender is not giving up Practical ways to create a daily habit of peace Scriptures Mentioned: Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Proverbs 3:5–6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…” Philippians 4:6–7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God…” Isaiah 26:3 “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You.” Mark 4:39 “He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, ‘Quiet! Be still!’” Your Takeaway You may not be able to control the diagnosis. You may not know what tomorrow will look like. You may not be able to fix every problem today. But you can choose where you place your focus. Peace comes when we stop trying to be the one holding everything together and surrender control back to the One who has never lost it. You do not have to carry tomorrow today. Choose God’s truth over your circumstances. Choose surrender over control. Choose peace over panic.

I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." — John 14:27 Until next time, keep choosing faith, keep leaning into His strength, and keep walking in His purpose.
