Can the way you speak to your loved one make dementia caregiving harder or easier? Absolutely.
Many caregivers believe their role is to keep their spouse happy at all costs—but what if that very mindset is making things more stressful?
In Episode 235, we explore a real-life coaching session with Thomas, a husband caring for his wife of nearly 50 years, and uncover the surprising connection between communication, mood, and peace at home.
Dementia caregiving isn’t about fixing everything—it’s about adjusting how you respond. The words you choose, your tone, and your emotions shape the way your loved one feels and reacts.
By focusing on emotional connection over logic, breaking tasks into simple steps, and managing your own stress, you can create a calmer, more peaceful environment for both of you.
You’re not alone in this journey. With faith, patience, and small communication shifts, you can bring more ease into your caregiving experience.
