Hey there Careblazer! Welcome back to Careblazers TV, the place where we talk about everything dementia. If you are caring for a loved one with any type of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy Body Dementia, or vascular dementia, then this is the place for you! In today’s video, I’m want to talk about the challenge of being able to balance your life while also giving good care to your loved one with dementia. So often, caregivers sacrifice all the things they enjoy and want to do in order to care for their loved one. BUT in this video, I share the one question you can ask yourself to help you get back on a path of doing things you want to do for you. You don’t have to stop all your desires and interests to give good care. You just have to open your mind up to the possiblity that there is another way. I hope this video helps you begin that process.

In case you haven’t met me, my name is Natali Edmonds and I am a board certified geropsychologist. That means that I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with older adults. In my job, I help people with dementia, and their caregivers, by visiting them in their own homes and helping them cope through the many struggles of caring for someone with dementia. I have always wanted to help more people than is possible for me in a work day. One day, while hiking a trail, I came up with the idea for Careblazers and I decided to see if posting videos online could provide help to the many other Careblazers in the world who don’t get to have help come directly to them in their homes. I do this in my spare time. I hope that this work helps you in some way on your caregiving journey.
