In this heartfelt episode, Sara sits down with Tami Anastasia, an author and consultant with a deep-rooted passion for dementia care, inspired by her family’s own journey. Together, they explore the unique challenges and gifts of caregiving for a loved one with dementia. Tami shares her approach, combining a deep understanding of family dynamics with empathy, to help families navigate the complex emotional terrain of dementia care. From understanding how past memories influence present behavior, to finding grace and compassion for oneself in the face of ambiguous loss, Tami reminds us that “you are as important as the person you're taking care of.” This conversation is a poignant reminder that caregiving, though often painful, is also profoundly meaningful. Whether you're supporting someone with dementia or simply looking to deepen your understanding of caregiving, this episode is a powerful exploration of love, resilience, and healing.
