As a dementia coach and educator, I provide a safe space and use The DAWN Method to help caregivers and care-receivers breathe, heal, and choose their own path when they are ready. Forcing change does not work. Respecting their timing brings peace.

One of the more difficult aspects of being a caregiver is establishing authority over your loved ones affairs. This is called Duty of Care.
A duty of care for a parent with dementia requires ensuring their physical safety, medical needs, and financial well-being are met. If you have been designated as their legal guardian or hold Power of Attorney (POA), you are legally obligated to act in their best interests and manage their affairs.
If a person is no longer able to recognize risks or make informed decisions due to cognitive decline, such as dementia, our duty is to support them in acting in their own best interests while preserving their dignity and independence as much as possible. The focus is always on their best interests—not our own. Navigating this responsibility involves several key steps:
1. Establish Legal Authority
2. Assess Daily Needs and Safety
3. Consider Care Options

No one tells you where your fill line is
You discover it one overwhelming moment, one sleepless night, one appointment, at a time
Some days stress stays below the fill line-steady, buoyant, enough. Other days emotions keep pouring until grief spills over the edges of your heart. The fill line is not where love ends
It is where we identify our capacity to hold
what is poured into us. Where we become vulnerable and where we need to reach out
for another hand to keep us afloat.

It's been a long time since posting anything and that is because I'm healing. I have experienced deep pain. I know what it is like to have someone you love so deeply choose to end life over dementia. I am grieving, maybe still mourning. I am contemplating it all. Be patient and Stay tuned. I believe I will return more focused than ever.

We are all strangers in a strange land, longing for home, but not quite knowing what or where home is. We glimpse it sometimes in our dreams, or as we turn a corner, and suddenly there is a strange, sweet familiarity that vanishes almost as soon as it comes.
