An Emotional Truth We Don’t Talk About Enough

Behind every dementia patient is a caregiver silently breaking— breaking under responsibility, under guilt, under the fear of the unknown, and under the pain of watching someone they love change in ways they never imagined.
Dementia doesn’t just affect the mind of one person—it reshapes the emotional world of an entire family. What begins with forgetfulness often turns into repeated conversations, confusion, behavioural changes, and unpredictable moments of distress. But while the patient’s struggles are visible, the caregiver’s struggles are often hidden behind quiet strength.
Caregivers carry a dual burden: the life they are trying to protect and the life they quietly set aside. They navigate exhaustion, anxiety, sleepless nights, and constant decision-making. They grieve someone who is still alive. They smile through pain, so their loved one feels safe. They feel guilty for losing patience, and guilty again for wanting a moment to themselves. And every day, they wake up wondering: How much more will tomorrow ask of me?
This emotional burnout is real, deep, and devastating. Yet we rarely talk about it.
In India, dementia is still misunderstood, often dismissed as “old age” or “weakness of memory.” Families hesitate to seek help—not out of neglect, but lack of awareness. This silence isolates patients, and it suffocates caregivers who desperately need understanding, training, and emotional support.
It is time for a compassionate shift.
We must talk about dementia openly.
We must acknowledge the unseen emotional toll on caregivers.
We must educate families, build awareness, and normalise seeking help.
We must create safe spaces—through support groups, respite care, community programs, and simple conversations that say, “You are not alone.”
Awareness is not merely information.
It is empathy. It is understanding. It is dignity.
It is the first step toward building a world where both patients and caregivers feel supported, valued, and heard.

When Life Changes Without Warning

Life has a way of rewriting our plans without asking for permission. Nearly ten years ago, I lost Preeti — a sudden, unimaginable loss that shook the very foundation of my existence. Until then, the word grief was just a word. That moment changed everything. I shut down my businesses, withdrew from the world, and took refuge in what many called charity — but in truth, it was survival. That phase led me toward understanding pain, privilege, and purpose — eventually pulling me into the world of senior living and eldercare. Caring for elders became my way of staying human.
Today, I find myself at another crossroads — one I never expected but now cannot ignore.
Just before Diwali, my 83-year-old mother suffered a seizure. She escaped a coma, but the recovery revealed a deeper loss: much of her memory was gone. We had noticed early signs of dementia, but nothing prepares you for the day it becomes real. Overnight, I shifted from being an eldercare advocate to becoming a family caregiver — confused, emotional, and painfully aware of how unprepared our ecosystem is.
For months, at Elder First, we have been discussing how to serve dementia-affected elders. But when the crisis walks into your own home, the conversation turns into responsibility. I now see first-hand how families struggle — not just medically, but emotionally, socially, and logistically. There are no manuals. No roadmaps. Just fear, fatigue, and love trying to survive each day.
I am sharing this not for sympathy, but for solidarity and awareness. We speak openly about cancer, heart disease, even depression — but dementia still lives in whispers behind closed doors, wrapped in confusion, guilt, and helplessness. By telling my own story now, while I am still in the middle of it, I hope to make space for others to speak, to seek help, to realise they are not failing — they are simply navigating a reality no one prepared them for. If we want change, we must first break the silence.
What will this lead to? I am still processing. But I know this: just as losing Preeti pushed me into eldercare, this moment is pushing me into memory care. Dementia is not just a medical condition — it is an emotional earthquake for families. And too many are suffering in silence because the support system simply does not exist.
So yes — this is my next calling. If my pain can pave even a small path for others, then it must. I will do whatever it takes to make life a little easier for elders living with dementia — and for the caregivers who love them, break for them, and show up every day with courage.

Before we die, may we all collect treasures that last — compassion, connection, and courage. This Dhanteras, may your life sparkle with true wealth.

Age Well – Caring for Your Brain, Body, and Bonds

As we grow older, “aging well” isn’t just about living longer—it’s about living better. Science now tells us that healthy aging depends on three pillars: cognitive health, physical health, and social health. Together, they can significantly reduce the risk of dementia and other age-related challenges.

While there is currently no cure for dementia, research shows that its onset can be delayed or managed by addressing certain modifiable risk factors. A few simple, consistent habits can make a world of difference.

Keep Learning: Education and mental stimulation protect your brain by building what scientists call cognitive reserve. Keep your mind active—read, learn, play games, or pick up a new skill.
Protect Your Body: Your brain thrives when your body is healthy. Maintain ideal weight, manage cholesterol, blood pressure, and diabetes, and avoid smoking and excessive alcohol. Regular exercise improves blood flow to the brain and strengthens both body and mind.
Stay Emotionally Fit: Depression, hearing loss, vision problems, and social isolation can accelerate cognitive decline. Stay connected with family, friends, and community. Laugh, talk, and share—human connection is the best medicine.
Mind Your Environment: Chronic air pollution and head injuries are emerging as serious brain health risks. Protect yourself by using helmets, improving indoor air quality, and avoiding unnecessary exposure.

Ultimately, aging well is about proactive care—for your brain, your body, and your bonds. Every small positive choice adds up. Let’s shift our focus from “fighting disease” to embracing wellness.
Because while we can’t change our age, we can certainly change how we age.

Thanking the Universe for the lessons.

Today marks a turning point—for some time now, the Universe has been helping me release toxicity and step into freedom. This catharsis is not an end, but a beginning. I embrace the signs of change with hope, strength, and self-belief. Every step forward feels lighter, brighter, and filled with the promise of a positive tomorrow.
