About this listen

When the Thompson family gathered for their first holiday since Mom's dementia diagnosis, what should have been a joyful reunion turned into heartbreak. Emily insisted on the elaborate dinner they'd always had, Jake argued it was pointless because Mom wouldn't remember, and Laura just wanted it all to go away. Sound familiar? In this powerful final episode of our family conflicts series, host Dawn Platt reveals why traditional family gatherings can become overwhelming disasters for dementia families—and shares the life-changing conversation that helped the Thompsons discover a better way. If you've ever felt torn between honoring old traditions and protecting your loved one's comfort, this episode will show you how to create new memories that truly matter. Because sometimes love means letting go of perfection to embrace presence.
