Caregiver,

I want to take a moment to recognize the care, patience, and compassion you bring every day. Your role is incredibly important—and so is taking time to care for yourself.

Why taking a moment to breathe matters:
Even a brief pause to focus on your breathing can help reset your mind and body. Caregiving often requires constant attention and energy, which can build up stress over time. Taking intentional breaths helps you slow down, refocus, and recharge.

How it can help you:
• Reduces stress and overwhelm
• Supports emotional balance
• Improves concentration
• Helps you feel more calm and in control

Just 5 minutes can make a big difference in how you feel throughout your day.

As a dedicated caregiver for my 94-year-old grandmother, I have gained extensive knowledge about Alzheimer's and dementia. I am excited to introduce the face behind Bae's Place Healthcare, LLAc which will be opening soon. The months of meetings and certifications have been highly demanding, yet the time I spend with my grandmother each day makes every effort worthwhile as I strive to support caregivers in Wisconsin.

Stepping up to be a caregiver isn’t about titles or technicalities. It doesn’t matter if it’s your mom, your dad, your spouse… or your mother-in-law. What matters is showing up.

It’s choosing love over convenience. Patience over frustration. Presence over comfort.

I can’t imagine the fear someone feels when they’re diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or dementia—the uncertainty, the loss of independence, the quiet questions they may never say out loud. We can’t control the diagnosis. We can’t control the outcome. But we can control the effort we put in.

We can control how we treat them.
We can control how often we show up.
We can control whether they feel forgotten… or deeply loved.

Being there tells them they still matter. That they are still needed. That they are not alone—even on the hardest days.

Caregiving isn’t easy, but love never was. And if you’re doing it, in any capacity, for anyone—you’re doing something truly selfless. 💙

If I get dementia, I’d like my family to hang this wish list up on the wall where I live. I want them to remember these things.

1a. Every time you enter the room announce yourself. “Hi Jackie - it’s ………...”
NEVER ask- Do you know who I am??? That causes anxiety.

1. If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality. 🌸

2. If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.❤️

3. If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.👍🏽❤️👍🏽

4. If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

5. If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself.❤️🥰❤️🥰

6. If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded.

7. If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am. ❤️

8. If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friends. ❤️

9. If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past.

10. If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me. ❤️

11. If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated. ❤️

12. If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even now if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.❤️

13. If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room.👍🏽

14. If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live.👍🏽

15. If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often.❤️

16. If I get dementia, don’t act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places. Take a deep breath. It’s not my fault.👍🏽

17. If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favorite music playing within earshot.❤️❤️❤️

18. If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place.👍🏽

19. If I get dementia, don’t exclude me from parties and family gatherings.❤️

20. If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs and plenty of laughing ❤️🥰❤️

21. If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love.”🌼❤️

in Honor of someone you know or knew who has dementia. In Honor of all those I know and love and lost who are fighting Dementia/Alzheimer’s.

Someone once said if you take care of someone with dementia you lose them more and more everyday. When they get the diagnosis, when they go through different stages, when they need treatment and when they pass away.

This is called "the longest goodbye ". As the brain slowly dies, they change physically and eventually forget who their loved ones are. They could end up lying in bed, not moving and not eating or drinking.

There will be people who will scroll past this post because Dementia has not touched them. They may not know what it's like to have a loved one who has battled or is still battling dementia.

To raise awareness of this cruel disease, I would like my friends to put this on their page today.
Hold your finger on the post to copy and paste to your timeline.

A special thank you to anyone willing to put this on their timeline for Dementia Awareness Week.
😔💔

When someone you love passes on, you realize the depth of your strength. You learn to navigate each new day with courage. But their memory stays with you, forever nestled in the depths of your 💜.

The loneliest walk you’ll ever take is the one down the road of grief.

He shared the same story five times at dinner, and with each retelling, love's beauty shone brighter. Everyone smiled, no one interrupted, basking in the warmth of the moment. Maybe love is finding magic in every repetition, and maybe grace is embracing its beauty.

They say Alzheimer’s is a slow goodbye. It feels more like a thousand tiny goodbyes that cut deeper each time. I celebrate the you that still shines through, while honoring the memories of the you that once was, in a heart-wrenching yet beautiful balancing act of love.

You don’t stop visiting because they forgot—you keep visiting because you remember.💜
