Caring for a loved one with dementia is a journey of heartbreak, resilience, and unexpected moments of grace. In this deeply personal and human-centered talk, Sabine Kvenberg shares her experience as caretaker for her mother-in-law, whose battle with Alzheimer’s transformed not only her memory but also the way their family learned to connect, cope, and care. Through the art of storytelling, Sabine brings the audience into the lived experience of discovery, decline, and the emotional toll of watching someone you love forget not only their world, but even you. Yet within this painful process, she reveals the importance of recognizing early signs, educating families, and—most importantly—giving yourself permission to grieve, adapt, and still find moments of connection. This talk is not scientific—it is human. It’s a reminder that while memory may fade, love and compassion can continue to guide us through the silent goodbyes.
