Caring Through Dementia: A Guide for New Caregivers

By Crystal Callaway

You don't have to figure this out alone. When a loved one is newly diagnosed with dementia, the days can feel overwhelming. Caring Through Dementia gives you calm, step-by-step guidance for what to expect and what to do next-without medical jargon or guilt.
Inside you'll find: clear explanations of what dementia is and how the major types differ; practical scripts and strategies for communication, personal care, safety, sundowning, wandering, and repetition; do-able ideas for connection and activities (music, reminiscence, movement, faith/spiritual supports); validation techniques to reduce conflict by meeting the person where they are; a caregiver self-care plan to help prevent burnout; and a quick-reference appendix with hotlines, organizations, and suppliers for dementia-friendly products.
Written in a warm, encouraging voice, this book helps you separate the person from the disease-so you can respond with empathy, protect dignity, and make each day a little easier for both of you.
