Dealing with Dementia in the 21st Century (S2, E51)

from Judaism in the 21st Century · host Steven Labkoff, MD & Rabbi Daniel Cohen

After our podcast on death and dying, we got an email from a listener to address how to handle a situation where a loved one has dementia. In this podcast, we unpack what Judaism has to say about this tragic situation. Spoilers - just like the instructions to put your own oxygen mask on during an air emergency, we have similar advice: Take care of yourself first so you have the strength to take care of your loved one. Ask for help and ensure you have the opportunity to rest from time to time. Ensure you take care of yourself so you can take care of your loved ones... And there's more words of wisdom on this very painful topic.
