When a Loved One Becomes a Stranger

from CARECAST · host CAREOSITY

In this episode of CARECAST, we explore one of the most heartbreaking and disorienting realities of the caregiving journey: the profound cognitive and personality shifts that can make a loved one feel completely unrecognizable. Building on the heavy realities of dementia care and ambiguous loss, we explore what it means to care for someone whose memories, behaviors, and very essence have fundamentally changed.
