Have you ever felt confused—or even frustrated—by your loved one’s fluctuating clarity?
One day, they seem mentally sharp and engaged. The next, they can’t follow a simple conversation.
What’s going on?
In Episode 242, we explore why cognitive decline in dementia isn’t a straight line and how you can respond with wisdom, compassion, and a biblical mindset. You’ll hear a real-life coaching conversation packed with practical insight, spiritual encouragement, and helpful tools for everyday caregiving.
If your loved one seems fine one moment and lost the next, you’re not doing anything wrong. It’s part of the dementia journey.
Instead of reacting with frustration or fear, respond with observation and grace. Watch for patterns. Allow rest. Create routines. Let go of guilt.
And most importantly, trust God with the moments you can’t predict. He sees you. He sees them. And He walks with you both—on the clear days and the confusing ones.
