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! I post a video every Sunday on the topic of dementia caregiving.

In today's video, I talk with Sheila. She is one of the most loving and strong Careblazers I know. What struck me most about Sheila is that her "normal" day to day life would totally shock and scare most people of the world. That's the thing about dementia caregivers. They do so much, give so much, day by day they give. It's almost as if what they consider "normal" is most people's nightmare. It's time to shine a light on the Sheila's of the world. It's time for the world to do more for these hero's.

For those of you concerned, Sheila wanted me to share this story. Her husband is getting care, she is learning to also give herself care. 💗 If you don't have a kind word to say, please find another place online to comment.

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.
