Scenario

When siblings have different caregiving styles for aging parents

My sister and I are both caring for our mom who has dementia and we have completely different approaches — I want to research every option and plan for everything and she just wants to take it day by day and trust that we'll figure it out. We're starting to get frustrated with each other instead of supporting each other and Mom can feel the tension.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who love the same person deeply are discovering that their different ways of showing love and managing fear are creating conflict when they most need each other.
