Hey there Careblazers! 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!

Last week’s video talked about ways to get your loved one to accept help from others. Today’s video talks about ways you can be more open to accepting help in caring for your loved one. Sometimes, we put so much pressure on ourselves and feel like we have to do it all on our own. Even if he realize we need extra help, feelings of guilt, anxiety, and worry start to creep in. You may find yourself wondering if you are a good enough caregiver if you can’t do it all on your own. Maybe you are worried what other people will think of you for getting help. For others, you may be worried that the help may not treat your loved one with dementia with the attention and care that you provide.

Please watch this video for 4 ways to open yourself up to the idea of accepting help while caring for your loved one with dementia.

I really want to make Careblazers as helpful as possible so let me know what you want to learn about or what your biggest struggles are and I will do my best to find a way to bring you information to help.

- Dr. Natali

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 hope that this work helps you in some way on your caregiving journey.

Blaze on!
