Scenario

How siblings navigate different caregiving philosophies

My brother and I are both caring for our mom who has dementia and we have completely different approaches — he thinks we should preserve her independence as long as possible and I think we need to prioritize her safety. Every decision becomes a fight about what she would want.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Love for the same person can create conflict when care looks different to each of you and every choice feels like it carries the weight of their dignity.
