Still Yourself: A Free 28-Day Journal for Dementia and Alzheimer's Caregivers — Daily Prompts, Burnout Monitor, Letter Room and Weekly Reflection

This journal was made for you, not for the person you are caring for.

If you are supporting someone with dementia or Alzheimer's, you already know that the practical guides, the medication schedules, the behavioural strategies — none of them make space for you. For what this season is doing to your body. For the grief that has no funeral. For the anger you cannot explain. For the woman you were before this role consumed everything.

Still Yourself is a free 28-day guided journal for caregivers. It is built on one conviction: your reactions make complete sense, and you deserve a space to understand them rather than suppress them.

What is inside:

✦ 28 days of morning and evening prompts — sequenced intentionally across four weeks: Arriving, Descending into the Difficult, Uncovering Who Remains, and Coming Home to Yourself. Each day takes 15 minutes or less.

✦ Four Weekly Synthesis pages — to see the emotional patterns across each week and write the things that don't fit inside a single day's prompt.

✦ The Letter Room — four unsent letters: to the person you are caring for, to the family members who are not showing up, to your past self before all of this began, and to whoever else needs to hear what you cannot say aloud.

✦ Deep Work pages — dedicated sections for grief without a name, identity preservation, and memory keeping. For the things that run underneath everything else.

✦ Monthly Burnout Monitor — seven clinical indicators tracked weekly across all four weeks, with reflection prompts. A pattern rising week on week is a signal to act, not to push through.

✦ Words that hold you — space each week for a verse, a mantra, a line of poetry, a prayer, or any words from any tradition that meet you where you are. Inclusive of all faiths and practices.

This journal is for you if:

• You are the primary caregiver for someone with dementia or Alzheimer's
• You have been so busy caring for someone else that you have stopped asking how you are
• You are carrying things that have nowhere to go
• You are a woman navigating caregiving alongside your own health, your own hormonal changes, your own life
• You want something honest, not something that asks you to be grateful when you are exhausted

Why is it free?

Because caregivers give everything and are rarely given anything in return. This is my contribution to changing that. Share it with every woman you know who is carrying this.
