Shifting Roles: Sister's Story, When Caregiving Becomes the Call

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and in this heartfelt episode of Share It With Charlotte, we shine a light on the emotional and mental weight carried by caregivers of loved ones with Dementia and Alzheimer’s. Conversations with my older sister, she reflects on our family’s journey—how she stepped into the role of caregiver for our father after the unexpected loss of our younger sister who was his initial caregiver.

We talk openly about the behavioral challenges of the disease, the emotional toll of caregiving, and importance of utilizing services, and programs to maintain your identity and balance through it all.
