Scenario

When siblings disagree about caring for a parent with dementia

My brother and I are both caring for our mom who has dementia and we've developed completely different philosophies about what's best for her — he wants to keep her at home no matter what and I think we need to start looking at memory care — and we can't even talk about it without one of us shutting down.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who love the same person must navigate the tender violence of making decisions for someone who can no longer make them herself.
