When Fear Takes Over, #Caregivers Are Left Behind Fear is a powerful driver of behavior. It can manifest in ways we don't always recognize—especially when illness enters the picture. I want to share a story about my dad. We sensed something wasn't right for years, but the bottom fell out. By then, his condition had deteriorated so much that managing even the simplest tasks became impossible. The man who once meticulously planned every detail of his day— especially his orthodontic practice, could no longer follow through. Even caring for Luther, his beloved dog, slipped out of reach. #Dementia is cruel in that way. Those who suffer from it often know something is wrong before the rest of us do. They start to pull back—quietly rearranging their lives to mask what's slipping away. The basketball coach hands off his whistle. The community leader resigns. The host of holiday gatherings suddenly stops extending invitations. They step away before anyone notices why. And then, when the disease is undeniable, something else happens: often we pull away, too. A lifelong friend visits once and never returns. Family members hesitate, uncertain of what to say. The person we've known is still here, yet different—and fear creeps in. "If this could happen to him, could it happen to me?" "What if I say the wrong thing?" "What if I can't fix it?" So, we distance ourselves. Not out of malice but out of uncertainty. Out of fear. But here's the reality: #Dementia is relentless. It takes and takes—until there's nothing left. There is no cure. It kills brain cells. It is fatal. These are the facts. And yet, the most brutal truth of all is this: No one should have to face it alone. If you know someone caring for a loved one with #dementia, please don't let fear keep you away. Show up. Offer a hand, a kind word, a listening ear. While #dementia may not have a cure, isolation does. And that cure is us. #caregiver#dementia#socialisolation
