Dementia caregiver, does Sunday actually feel like a day of rest?

Sometimes, even when you have a moment to slow down, your mind keeps going.

→ “I should visit.”
→ “I should be doing more.”
→ “How am I going to manage everything this week?”

And underneath the planning and worry, you might feel sadness about how much life has changed.

If Sundays feel heavy, you’re not alone. You can care deeply about your person and need rest, too.

One hard day, and suddenly you’re wondering:

→ “Was the move too soon?”
→ “Should we have waited?”
→ “Did I make the wrong decision?”

Your parent living with dementia has a difficult day at their care community, and all the reasons behind the move suddenly feel less convincing.

You want them to feel safe, supported, and comfortable.

When they’re struggling, it can be hard to hold onto the bigger picture.

That difficult day deserves attention.

It doesn’t erase the needs that led to the move.

You can take their feelings seriously and still remember why you made this decision.

How do you make a dementia care decision when none of the options feel good?

Hiring help at home.

Considering memory care.

Talking about hospice.

Planning for the end of your person’s life.

You’re trying to consider their wishes, their safety, what care costs, and what you can realistically manage.

Sometimes family members have different opinions, and you’re still the one expected to make the decision.

And these big decisions come on top of all the smaller ones you’re already making every day.

It can be exhausting to always be the person who has to figure out what happens next.

A decision can be necessary and still feel heartbreaking.

Feeling torn is common.

You may not find an option that takes away all the guilt or uncertainty.

You can make a thoughtful decision with the information and support you have, and still need space to grieve it.

You can miss your life before dementia caregiving and still love the person you’re caring for.

You can miss saying yes to plans without figuring out who will stay with them.

You can miss calling your parent for advice instead of being the one making the decisions.

And then you may feel guilty for missing those things, because they’re the one living with dementia.

But their losses don’t erase yours.

As a licensed social worker and therapist who supports dementia caregivers, I want more people to understand that grief can include changes in your own freedom, relationships, identity, and future.

You deserve room to talk about what’s changed for you, too.

Save this for when you need that reminder.

Comment GUIDE and I’ll send you my free guide on dementia caregiver guilt 💜

When you’re the one taking the lead with your mom’s dementia care, resentment toward your siblings can build.

You’re scheduling appointments, getting medications, checking in on Mom, and doing the paperwork.

Meanwhile, they ask you, “How’s Mom doing?”

You might find yourself thinking:
→ “Why do I have to ask them to help?”
→ “Can’t they see I’m drowning here and need more help?”

Then you feel guilty for being angry.

They’re my siblings. Should I even feel this way?

You can love your siblings and still wish they would do more.

Feeling resentment doesn’t make you a bad person.

If guilt has been weighing on you, my free Dementia Caregiver Guilt Guide offers simple reframes to help you make sense of what you’re feeling and respond with more compassion toward yourself.
