About this listen

Hey UN•THERAPIST,

We need your help UN•THERAPIZING something…

Have you ever lost someone twice? Maybe that didn't make sense when you first heard it, so let's ask it a different way.

📌 What do you do when someone you love doesn’t remember who you are?

📌 When their memory fades, their face looks the same, but their mind is somewhere you can’t reach...do you still show up for them?

In this session, we took a deep dive into the emotional tension of visiting loved ones battling dementia or Alzheimer’s.

📌 Is it still worth showing up if they no longer recognize you?

📌 Are you visiting for them, or for your own peace of mind?

📌 And how do you handle the heartbreak of being forgotten by someone who once knew you best?

There are some harsh truths and realities of caregiving, financial protection, and setting healthy boundaries in what it means to love through memory loss, where grief can start long before goodbye.

Join us for another session of UN•THERAPY as we UN•THERAPIZE, showing up for loved ones who no longer know your name, honoring the past while holding space for the present, and finding grace in the moments that still matter.
