How Christian Caregivers Handle It When Their Loved One Tells the Doctor Things That Aren’t True

Описание: Dementia doctor appointments for caregivers can be one of the most difficult moments in Christian caregiving.

If you’ve ever sat in a doctor’s office while your loved one with dementia confidently says things you know are not true about falls, sleep, memory, or safety you are not alone.

Many Christian dementia caregivers leave these medical appointments feeling unsettled, guilty, or unsure if they honored God, spoke the truth in love, or protected their loved one’s dignity.

This episode addresses a common dementia caregiving decision problem:
👉 How do you speak truth to a doctor without dishonoring the person you love?
👉 Is correcting them a lack of honor or a necessary act of stewardship?
👉 Why does this moment feel spiritually heavy, not just awkward?

This is not a communication problem.
It is a responsibility problem.

In this video, we clarify why dementia doctor visits create a collision between biblical commands—honor, truth, and protection of life and why trying to decide what to do in real time almost always leaves caregivers distressed afterward. You’ll learn where this decision actually lives, why freezing is a normal response to moral weight, and how to approach medical appointments with clarity before you walk into the room.

This teaching is for Christian caregivers who want biblical clarity, not emotional reassurance—who know responsibility is already present and can no longer be deferred.
