START HERE - find your next step
When someone you love is diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s, the grief doesn’t wait for the end.
- It starts in the doctor’s office.
- It builds during conversations that don’t make sense.
- It lingers in the quiet moments when you realize everything’s changing—and you don’t know how to talk about it.
If you’ve been feeling... you’re not the only one.
- “I don’t know how to do this.”
- “I feel like I’m losing them—and myself.”
- “I can’t keep pretending I’m okay.”
Maybe you've Googled all the right things, tried to stay calm, tried to keep everyone else together. But no one really prepared you for the emotional toll.
You’re carrying grief that’s hard to name, guilt you don’t know how to talk about, and fear about what’s coming next.
And through it all, you’re expected to stay strong.
This space was created for people like you.
I’ve been where you are—and I built this space with that in mind.
Hi, I’m Liz Brown!
I’m a clinically trained social worker—and someone who’s lived through the emotional storm of a loved one’s dementia diagnosis.
When my father-in-law was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, it turned our family’s world upside down.
My husband became the peacemaker, the planner, the one quietly holding everything—and I supported him while also managing my own grief, guilt, and fear.
Even with years of professional experience in grief, emotional health, and family systems, I still felt lost.
That’s when I realized: We don’t just need information.
We need emotional support, grounded tools, and a space to be real about what this is doing to us—without shame or pressure to “stay strong.”
That’s what I offer here. A steady place to land. A clear path forward. And real community for the moments when it feels like too much.
“Before I found Liz, I was drowning in emotions I didn’t know how to name. I felt alone, ashamed, and completely unprepared. Her words, her program, and just knowing she’s walked this path too—it changed everything. I don’t feel like I’m unraveling anymore.”

It won’t take the pain away.
But it will help you feel less alone, less lost—and more like yourself again.
This isn’t about pretending things aren’t hard.
It’s about helping you find your footing in the hard.
When we work together—whether that’s through a free resource, a guided program, or deeper support—here’s what becomes possible:
- You’ll start to understand what you’re feeling—and why
- You’ll find words for grief, guilt, and overwhelm (without judgment)
- You’ll feel more emotionally steady, even when the future feels uncertain
- You’ll learn how to stay connected to your loved one—without losing yourself
- You’ll build resilience that lasts—so you don’t have to keep “holding it all together” on your own
Because you deserve more than just coping.
You deserve support that actually supports you.
Wherever you are in the journey—just beginning, deep in it, or somewhere in between—there’s a path forward that doesn’t require you to sacrifice your emotional wellbeing.
And I’d be honored to walk it with you.
You don’t have to figure everything out today—
but there is a next step that can help.
Everyone’s journey with dementia is different. That’s why I offer a few ways to get the support you need—whether you're looking for something you can explore quietly on your own or a space to feel connected and held.
Choose the path that fits where you are right now.

(Feel more supported, more steady, and more like yourself—starting today.)
You don’t need more medical jargon or pressure to stay strong. You need space to feel—and steady support to keep going.
There are a lot of resources out there about dementia
but most of them focus on logistics, not on you.
They tell you what stage your loved one is in…
But not what to do with the grief that hits afterward.
They walk you through care plans…
But skip the part where your heart is breaking.
They give you tasks, checklists, responsibilities—
When what you really need is someone to say, “This is hard. And you’re not failing.”
That’s what makes this space different.
It’s not just about caregiving.
It’s about you.
- Your emotions.
- Your relationships.
- Your identity.
- Your resilience.
Because when you feel steadier—everything else becomes more manageable
This is emotional support for the part of the journey most people don’t talk about.
And you don’t have to go through it alone anymore.
There’s no perfect path.
Just the next right step for where you are right now.
You don’t have to do everything today.
But if you’re ready for a bit more steadiness, clarity, or support—I’ve created a few simple ways to help you take your next step.
Pick the one that meets you where you are:
You don’t have to be the strong one all the time.
You just have to be real.
This journey is full of unknowns—and you may still have more questions than answers.
But here’s what I want you to know:
You’re not failing.
You’re not broken.
And you’re not alone.
You’re doing the best you can in an incredibly hard situation.
And it’s okay to need help with that.
Whether you take a small step today or come back when you’re ready, this space will be here—to help you feel more supported, more steady, and more like you again.
💜 I'm so glad you're here.
