Free emotional support tools
Welcome to Your Resource Hub
This is a place to find support when the emotional side of dementia feels heavy, confusing, or hard to explain.
Some of these resources are for hard moments. Others give you a little space to think through what you are feeling.
You do not need to use everything. Start with what fits what you are carrying today.
Start here if you feel overwhelmed
This resource can help when everything feels like too much and you need a simple place to begin.
Big Feelings and What to Do With Them
A simple reflection for noticing what you are feeling, naming it, and getting curious about what may be happening underneath.
Start here if you are carrying guilt or self-doubt
These resources can help you understand guilt, notice second-guessing, and respond to yourself with less self-blame.
Guilt and Self-Doubt
A reflection resource for looking at how guilt and self-doubt show up, what may be underneath them, and what matters to you in those moments.
The Inner Critic
A reflection for understanding when your critical voice shows up, what it may be reacting to, and how to bring in a steadier voice too.
Start here if you are grieving someone who is still here
These resources make room for the grief that can begin long before death and show up in ways that are not always easy to recognize.
Grief and Loss
A reflection resource for noticing the grief that may be underneath anger, guilt, frustration, numbness, exhaustion, or other emotions that are hard to make sense of.
Processing After Seeing Your Loved One
A simple check-in for the emotions that can stay with you after a visit, whether something was hard, something felt different, or you are not quite sure why you left feeling heavy.
Start here if the future feels uncertain
These resources can help when your mind keeps moving ahead, the future feels unclear, or you feel pressure to prepare for things you cannot fully prepare for.
When Your Mind Jumps Ahead
A reflection for noticing when your mind moves into the future, where it tends to go, and what happens when those thoughts keep pulling you away from the moment you are in.
Trying to Prepare for What You Can’t Fully Prepare For
A reflection for noticing the fears you keep trying to solve ahead of time and practicing a different way of responding to yourself when there is no clear answer yet.
Start here if you feel disconnected from yourself
These resources can help you notice what has changed for you, what is still true about you, and where you may need to come back to yourself a little.
Identity Shifts
A reflection for exploring how dementia can change your role, your relationship, your responsibilities, and the way you see yourself.
Small Internal Agreements
A reflection for noticing where you may be pushing past yourself and making smaller agreements that feel realistic enough to actually follow through on.

These tools are not about fixing how you feel or giving you another list of things to do. They are here to help you notice what is happening, put some words to it, and find a little more steadiness while things keep changing.
