There is more than one place to begin.
A lot of dementia support focuses on the person with dementia — what they need, what is changing, and what needs to happen next.
My work also makes room for your experience.
What has changed for you. What you are feeling. What you have taken on. What is taking more out of you than other people may realize. What you need. What matters to you now.
You may want something simple to read or use on your own. You may want resources you can return to. Or you may be looking for deeper, ongoing support.
You can start with what fits where you are now.
Choose the kind of support that feels useful right now
I want a simple place to begin
Start with free resources if you want something you can read, reflect on, or use on your own.
- Emotional support resources
- Reflection prompts and practical tools
- Support for grief, guilt, uncertainty, and other difficult feelings
- A place to begin without making a bigger commitment
I want resources I can return to
The Resource Library gives you a collection of worksheets, visuals, and support materials you can use in your own time and come back to when they are helpful.
- Worksheets and reflection tools
- Resources for the emotional side of dementia
- Past Connection Hour resources
- Support you can use at your own pace
I want deeper guided support
Grieving the Diagnosis is a guided support experience for adult children and partners who want more space to understand what living through dementia has been like for them.
- Understand your own experience and emotions more clearly
- Get more honest about your capacity, needs, and limits
- Understand how dementia is changing roles, communication, decisions, and the relationship
- Work through uncertainty, losses, and difficult choices with live support
You may be in the right place if
- You are an adult child or partner of someone living with dementia or Alzheimer’s
- Your relationship, role, responsibilities, routines, or plans have changed
- You are carrying grief, guilt, anger, fear, loneliness, resentment, relief, exhaustion, or feelings that are difficult to explain
- You are making decisions without the same collaboration, certainty, or reassurance you may have had before
- You sometimes wonder whether you are handling things the right way
- You want support for your experience, not only information about caring for the person with dementia
What we make room for here
Your experience
What changed when dementia entered your life, what you have taken on, what you are feeling, and what other people may not fully see.
Your capacity, needs, and limits
What you actually have room for right now, what is taking more out of you, what you need, and where something may need to change.
The things without easy answers
Uncertainty, changing relationships, losses, family roles, difficult choices, and what matters to you as the reality keeps changing.
You do not need to figure out all of your support today.
Start with what feels useful now.
Read something. Try a resource. Learn more about Grieving the Diagnosis. You can decide what you need from there.
This space provides emotional support and education. It is not therapy or medical advice.
