After 25 years as a support worker has shifted my inner voice to ask “what if they are trying their best?"

Just be little kinder, more thoughtful because you really don’t know what they are is dealing with. I think this is something really important but we often forget.

All these years it has taught me to look at life in someone else s’ eyes 💫

Advice I’d give you about caregiving… if I wasn’t afraid to hurt your feelings. ⬇️

✅ Your parent saying “I’m fine” does not automatically mean they’re safe living alone.
✅ One family member usually becomes the default caregiver. If that’s you, you need support earlier than you think.
✅ You can love someone deeply and still feel exhausted caring for them.
✅ Caregiving gets heavier when families avoid difficult conversations for too long.
✅ Keeping an aging parent safe sometimes means making decisions they won’t fully agree with.
✅ Siblings who barely help now probably won’t suddenly step up during a crisis.
✅ Most caregivers wait too long to ask for help because they think needing help means failing.

The strongest caregivers aren’t the ones doing everything alone. They’re the ones who ask for support before they break.

One of the hardest things I learned as a caregiver was that when someone with dementia says, “I want to go home,” they usually don’t mean a physical house.

Most people respond with,
“But Mom, you are home.”

But that often makes things worse.

What they’re really saying is:
“I don’t feel safe.”
“I’m uncomfortable.”
“I’m confused.”

Instead of correcting them, respond to the feeling behind the words.

The secret?

Respond to the emotion, not the exact words 💙
