Before Your Parent's Dementia Diagnosis: 4 Things Every Family Must Do NOW (From a Daughter Who's Lived It) If you have a parent over 70, this episode could save your family $35,000, a year of your life, and the kind of stress that breaks marriages and fractures families. After four years of navigating dementia caregiving for multiple family members — including her mother-in-law with Alzheimer's, her father-in-law with vascular dementia, and now signs in her own family — Shelly Niehaus is sharing the proactive caregiving roadmap she wishes someone had handed her family before "the phone call." This is the episode every adult child with an aging parent needs to hear — before a dementia diagnosis lands in your lap. Most dementia and caregiving resources are built for families already in crisis. This one is different. This one is for the daughter, son, or spouse who has felt the flutter in their stomach but doesn't know where to start. The one quietly watching. The one quietly worrying. The one who doesn't have a plan — yet. In this deeply personal episode, Shelly walks you through the 4 areas of dementia caregiving you cannot avoid — and how to start on every single one of them today, without a diagnosis, without a family meeting, and without anyone in your family agreeing that something is wrong. In this episode, you'll learn: The Sunday phone call that changed everything: "How long do I pack for?" "I have no idea." Why the families who struggle most aren't the ones who don't love enough — they're the ones without a plan AREA 1 — Legal: Why the window to put Power of Attorney documents in place is open RIGHT NOW, and closes the moment your loved one loses capacity (and why a notarized POA is NOT the same as a complete POA) AREA 2 — Medical: Why you have to ask for a cognitive evaluation by name — and why your parent's primary care doctor probably won't bring it up AREA 3 — Financial: The slow unraveling nobody is watching, and the early sign of cognitive decline most families completely miss AREA 4 — Safety & Logistics: The conversations nobody wants to have (driving, firearms, home safety) and why naming a family quarterback BEFORE the crisis matters more than almost anything else The legal mistake that cost Mark and Shelly a year of their lives untangling frozen accounts and inaccessible Social Security The $35,000 air ambulance that could have been avoided with one earlier conversation The Truth About Watching: the 3am wake-ups, the fear, the dread, the grief that starts where the worry starts "I can't do round three. I don't have it in me." — and why Shelly is doing it anyway The one question that determines whether your family walks through this season with peace or chaos

Karee White joins host Ron Aaron and guest co-host Tina Smith to talk about her caregiving story on this edition of Caregiver SOS.

Karee White joins host Ron Aaron and guest co-host Tina Smith to talk about her caregiving story on this edition of Caregiver SOS. About Karee Karee White is a veteran, military mother, and Elizabeth Dole Foundation Caregiver Fellow based in Apex, North Carolina. She and her husband Jim are both veterans. Seven of their nine children have served or are currently serving in the United States Armed Forces—a legacy of service that stretches back nearly 250 years in their family. Her Story: Karee's daughter Kimmy, an Army paratrooper, suffered a severe traumatic brain injury at 25 years old while forward stationed in Italy following a deployment to Afghanistan. Kimmy was in a coma for a year. When doctors told the family there was nothing more they could do, they brought her home. Fifteen years later, Kimmy is relearning to walk and can speak a few words. Karee has been her primary caregiver throughout. Her Book: Ash Woven is officially released April 23, 2026. Karee's memoir traces her family's journey through generational service, sacrifice, and healing. It explores how strength is not newly found in crisis—it is remembered, drawn from those who came before. A portion of the proceeds supports the I Love Everyone Foundation. Available on Amazon. Her Work with the Elizabeth Dole Foundation: As a Dole Caregiver Fellow with the Elizabeth Dole Foundation, Karee is part of a national network of military and veteran caregivers who share their stories to drive awareness, policy, and support. There are 14.3 million military and veteran caregivers in the U.S. (2024 RAND report), and millions more—including an estimated 2.3 million children—quietly providing unpaid care in those homes. Hosts Ron Aaron and Carol Zernial, and their guests talk about Caregiving and how to best cope with the stresses associated with it.

In Episode 100, Jamie and Matt reflect on a year that fundamentally reshaped how Matt experiences healthcare—as both a patient and a caregiver. Matt shares an update on his active surveillance prostate cancer journey, including lifestyle changes, monitoring, and learning to live with uncertainty.The conversation expands beyond Matt's diagnosis to include the realities of caregiving: navigating a father's dementia and hospice journey, processing anticipatory grief and loss, supporting a teenage daughter through surgery, and helping a mother recover after a stroke. Matt speaks candidly about caregiver burnout, moments of emotional paralysis, and the importance of asking for help.Together, Jamie and Matt explore how grief lingers, how recovery often proves harder than the crisis itself, and why healthcare must focus on what happens after discharge. Episode 100 closes with a powerful reminder: it's okay not to be okay—but it's not okay to face it alone.

In this episode, we speak with Rebecca Heimsoth, a young mother and survivor of myelodysplastic syndrome who underwent a bone marrow transplant in April 2022. Diagnosed shortly after turning 33, Rebecca shares her deeply personal journey of navigating transplant recovery, chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and parenting two small children. Her story is one of resilience, support, and a constant fight to reclaim her life after cancer.We begin by learning how Rebecca's transplant process unfolded with the support of her family. Her mother stepped in as her full-time caregiver while she temporarily relocated over an hour away from home for five months, separated from her children. Her youngest sister was a full match donor, which initially reduced concern for GVHD—until lung GVHD symptoms appeared five months post-transplant. This diagnosis triggered new fears, especially around survival, and marked the beginning of her chronic GVHD journey, which later expanded to include fascia involvement. Rebecca explains the physical and emotional toll—early menopause, chronic fatigue, cognitive effects, and mobility challenges.We discuss how she manages flare-ups with physical therapy, walking, stretching, and even cupping. Despite the physical setbacks, Rebecca remains actively involved with her family, thanks to a flexible job, long-term disability support, and a strong support system. Her husband takes on parenting duties when her health dips, and her kids have learned small routines to help protect her from illness, such as wearing masks and showering after school. These steps, while difficult, have helped them all cope as a unit.Rebecca also opens up about the mental health side of survivorship—dealing with PTSD, depression, and a sense of loss over her former self. She credits her psychologist, psychiatrist, and peer support groups as vital tools for managing the psychological weight. Online and in-person GVHD groups have connected her to other young adults navigating similar terrain, helping her feel less alone.Despite not returning to her full-time career, Rebecca is finding meaning in her part-time work and family life. Her goals have shifted—from professional advancement to simply watching her kids grow up. Whether it's family vacations or bedtime snuggles, she cherishes these moments. Her ultimate aim is to be present for her daughter's high school graduation in 2037. Every step forward, no matter how small, is part of the victory.Want to connect with a Young Adult Survivor Group?

Guest: Nadine Cornish, Family Caregiving Consultant and Certified Senior Advisor An estimated 600-870,000 persons in Colorado are presently performing an estimated 560 million hours of challenging work as unpaid caregivers. Between 2010 and 2020 Colorado’s aging 65+ population grew by over 58% on a pace to create a shortfall of caregivers by 115,000 by 2030. This program covered support for present caregivers and how to meet the caregiving shortfall.

Brian Crombie welcomes economist, playwright, and debut novelist Ann Cavlovic to discuss her newly published book Count on Me. Ann's novel is a sharp, funny, and deeply honest look at elder abuse, family dysfunction, single motherhood, and the emotional and financial realities of caregiving. Drawing from her own experiences supporting aging parents, she exposes a crime that often goes unseen: elder abuse within families. In this episode, Ann explores:

According to the AARP, one in four adults in the U.S. provides care to a spouse, relative or friend with a serious health concern. Roughly 18% of those caregivers are between the ages of 18 and 34.    That group includes Emily Quandt, a 23-year-old Beaverton resident who put her post-college plans on hold when her mother, Angie, was diagnosed with ALS in 2022. Emily and Angie Quandt both join us to talk about the dynamics of family caregiving.

Caregiving is a sacred gift. Caring for someone who is chronically or terminally ill requires patience, understanding, and selflessness. Most caregivers are not professional healthcare workers; rather, they are loving family members who dedicate their lives to improving the well-being of their loved ones.Caregiving often presents significant challenges and in this episode, Robin's husband, Tom, is here to talk about them.  His mother, like many individuals who are ill, required round-the-clock care. For Tom and other caregivers who work outside the home, this situation leads to difficult decisions: choose between paying for private care or providing the care themselves. There are no easy solutions to this dilemma, as Tom explains. When we care for one of God's children, we are truly doing the Lord's work. Most who have been in the caregiving role, including Tom after three months at his mother's bedside, deem the experience a blessing beyond measure. If you aren't a caregiver but know someone who is, consider offering support, respite, or, at the very least, prayers and encouragement. Also, send them this episode so they know they are not alone.Special Guest: Tom MayTom and his sister committed to keeping their mother at home as she battled Parkinson's Disease and cancer. This commitment didn't come easy or without challenges. He joins us today to discuss them. Tom is the husband of Robin, and together they have two children and one granddaughter. Show NotesThe Caregiving Crisis No One is Talking About https://www.mariashriversundaypaper.com/the-caregiving-crisis-ai-jen-poo/?utm_source=SailThru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Fall%20Issue%20No.%207%20November%209%2C%202025&utm_term=Sunday%20PaperCaregiver Bill of Rightshttps://www.caregiver.org/resource/caregivers-bill-rights/Celebrating National Family Caregivers Month with BLS Datahttps://www.bls.gov/blog/2023/celebrating-national-family-caregivers-month-with-bls-data.htmThe Overwhelming Financial Toll of Family Caregiving https://www.aarp.org/caregiving/financial-legal/financial-impact-caregiving/Family and Medical Leave Acthttps://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fmla‘Tis the Seasonhttps://denisebickel.com//tis-the-season

As we arrived at the final day of National Family Caregivers Month this November, we're circling back with our partners at AARP Connecticut to unpack some key points from the organization's latest report on Family Caregiving.

Nearly three out of every 10 Connecticut residents are family caregivers, and the numbers are growing - so stay tuned and learn what you need - or may need to know about this important public health trend. And finally, we have come to understand that high-quality early care and education is one of the most effective, evidence-based ways to support children's long-term success. However, CT Voices' new analysis of ECE data from 2014 to 2024 shows that the system has struggled to meet demand. So, we're bringing in the co-authors of the latest Connecticut Voices for Children 2025 State of Early Childhood report to continue our conversations on this important topic.

Physician Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "Why physicians struggle with caregiving and how to cope with grace," reflecting on the unique challenges doctors face when caring for aging parents and ill family members. Jessie explains how medical training, far from easing the role, can intensify stress through hyperawareness, overresponsibility, and self-judgment. She shares how mindfulness and coaching provide physicians with tools to manage guilt, perfectionism, and anticipatory grief, while fostering presence, perspective, and resilience.
