The Guilty Carer
I'm speaking out loud about my messy journey as a Dementia Caregiver for my unforgettable mother, from day 1 of her diagnosis to her death. Being a Carer can be an intensely wholesome experience but it's also conflicted by a barrage of emotions I just wasn't prepared for. Real, raw and bare, I hope the sharing of my story will help so many other Carers feel less alone, and more human.

I almost didn't record this episode, because it all feels so raw still. But the more conversations I have with families navigating advancing dementias the more I hear how much increasing falls impacts their ability to provide safe care. In this episode, I recount our journey with my mum's falls and how we tried to best handle this incredibly distressing time. Oh, and a slight language warning... I swear once.
It's often said that animals feel what we're going through right? So what value does caring for a pet bring our loved one living with Dementia? In this episode, I re-visit how pets impacted my mother's Dementia journey, and then consequently our journey as Carers.

For most of my Carer journey, I espoused the many positives being a Carer instilled in me. What I found way harder, was being open about the many things it took from me as well. I felt a deep shame (and a weighty guilt) accepting help or admitting this, and in this podcast I open this conversation with you.

Hi there, I'm Jason van Genderen, and I co-cared for my mum Hendrika (Oma) with mixed dementias. Let's start at Day 1... the awkward steps of fumbling towards a diagnosis. In this episode, I talk about the first signs we knew something was different with my mother, and the realisation that my role (as her son) would soon need to grow to be a whole lot more.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
