236. How To Balance Family, Caregiver Guilt, And Practical Dementia Care Decisions

Is moving your aging parent into your home the best way to care for them—or could it cost you your health and marriage?

In Episode 236, we walk alongside a caregiver caught in one of the most emotional crossroads many Christians face: the desire to honor their parents while also protecting their marriage and family. It’s a raw, real coaching conversation filled with wisdom, faith, and practical guidance.

 

Caring for your parents is an act of love—but it doesn’t mean sacrificing your marriage, your peace, or your health. Sometimes, the most loving choice is the hardest one: saying no to what they want so you can say yes to what’s truly best.

Let go of guilt. Trust that God sees your heart. And remember—you’re honoring your parents by ensuring they’re cared for, even if it doesn’t look the way you imagined.
