A proposito di questo titolo
Global Edmonton news anchor and care partner Erin Chalmers joins us to share her personal experience supporting her mom, who lives with dementia. She reflects on what it was like in the early days after diagnosis, how relationships changed over time, and what helped her most along the way. Erin speaks openly about the emotional impact of caregiving, how she navigated moments of guilt and frustration, and why staying connected, even in small ways, matters.
Key Takeaways Early Signs – Memory loss isn’t the only change. It can start with shifts in personality or judgment. Support Groups – Being in a room with others going through the same thing can help ease isolation. Communication – Connection is still possible, even if words fade. Small moments count. Emotions – It’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Giving yourself permission to step back helps. Family Roles – Dementia changes relationships. Kindness and patience go a long way.
