Synopsis

You can love your parent deeply without sacrificing every part of yourself.

Caring for a parent with dementia can quietly take over everything: your sleep, work, health, relationships, finances, and sense of who you are. When you are the daughter everyone calls, it can feel as if being a “good daughter” means carrying more and more until there is almost nothing left of you.

WHILE THEY FORGET, DON'T FORGET YOURSELF is a practical, compassionate guide to building a safer care system without disappearing inside it.

Inside, you will learn how to:
• communicate without turning every memory error into an argument;
• respond more calmly to repetition, agitation, suspicion, and difficult parts of the day;
• think through wandering, driving, falls, eating, swallowing, and home-safety concerns;
• recognize when a sudden change needs prompt medical evaluation rather than being dismissed as “just dementia”;
• navigate sibling conflict, ask for useful help, and create backup coverage;
• approach money, legal planning, home care, memory care, palliative care, and hospice with clearer questions;
• protect your sleep, body, mental health, work, relationships, and identity; and
• use the Sustainable Care Circle to review five essential areas whenever needs change.

This book does not promise a cure or pretend caregiving can be made easy. It gives you a grounded way to make the next decision, then the next one, with greater clarity and less unnecessary guilt.

Whether the diagnosis is recent or caregiving has already reshaped your days, you can start with the chapter that matches the problem in front of you.

Your parent matters. Their dignity matters. Their safety matters. And you matter too.
