Alzheimer's Speaks host Lori La Bey joins Suzanne to talk about caregivers and how we can help support these unsung family heroes.

Family caregiving is an essential and compassionate role, but significant financial challenges should be addressed. By acknowledging these challenges and seeking appropriate solutions, caregivers can work towards alleviating the economic strain and focusing on providing the best care for their loved ones without sacrificing their financial stability and well-being.

The environmental problems in family caregiving are often invisible yet impactful.

The spiritual part of caregiving adds a profound depth to the already vital task of caring for another human being. By recognizing the sacred nature of the care recipient, cultivating mindfulness and presence, embracing transcendence and hope, finding meaning in suffering, nurturing connection, and practicing gratitude and surrender, caregivers can transform their caregiving journey into a sacred and transformative experience. Caregiving becomes an opportunity for personal growth, deep connection, and discovering profound truths about ourselves and our world.
