Are you or a loved one becoming more forgetful and wondering, "Is this early dementia or normal aging?"
In this episode of Jesus Listens: Stories of Prayer, Susie sits down with Lizette Cloete, an occupational therapist turned dementia specialist, to share what she's learned through decades of working with caregivers and those living with cognitive decline. She offers a practical way to understand the difference between forgetfulness and genuine memory loss, and how to avoid burnout during the caregiving journey.
