"How do I involve my spouse in our life, even though they have dementia?"
Manage episode 319732972 series 3009186
I hear some versions of this question pretty frequently. Having a spouse living with dementia is completely different from having a parent with dementia. The inherent difference in the relationship is what makes it difficult.
The biggest challenge is that previously, this person used to make decisions together with you, and now it’s all up to you. So, how do you keep them involved when they really can’t offer too much on a lot of issues?
I have a few tips on this, so be sure to tune in and learn more about how to navigate this!
