Caring for a loved one with dementia is one of the most profound acts of love-and one of the hardest. As the day winds down, many caregivers face what feels like an endless night of confusion, agitation, and emotional storms. This is sundowning-a daily battle that pushes even the most patient caregivers to their limits. In Sundowning: Survival Techniques for When You Are on Your Last Nerve, author and caregiver advocate VL Jackson brings together practical strategies, expert guidance, and heartfelt caregiver stories to create a survival guide for one of the toughest parts of dementia care. Written with honesty, compassion, and a touch of hard-earned wisdom, this book is both a lifeline and a companion for those who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and alone. Far from a clinical manual, this is a caregiver-centered guide-designed to give you realistic techniques you can use right away. Whether you are caring for a parent, spouse, sibling, or friend, the pages within will help you understand why sundowning happens, what triggers it, and how you can respond in ways that protect both your loved one's dignity and your own well-being. Inside you'll find:Clear explanations of sundowning, its symptoms, and what's really happening in the brain. Survival strategies to manage evening agitation, wandering, aggression, and sleepless nights. Environmental adjustments that create calm instead of chaos. Behavioral response techniques that redirect rather than escalate. Checklist, Evening Routine Planner, and Nighttime Safety Checklist. Reflection questions and Notes at the end of each chapter to help you process your journey and recognize your own needs. But more than strategies, this book offers validation. You'll meet other caregivers who admit to their breaking points, confess their guilt, and share the small victories that helped them carry on. You'll learn that burnout doesn't mean you are failing-it means you are human. VL Jackson knows the reality of caregiving: the sleepless nights, the emotional outbursts, the overwhelming weight of responsibility. With a voice that blends professional insight and personal empathy, she reminds readers that their health, rest, and peace matter just as much as the person they are caring for. If you've ever whispered to yourself, "I can't do this anymore," this book was written for you. Sundowning: Survival Techniques for When You Are on Your Last Nerve is not just a guidebook; it's a companion, a shoulder to lean on, and a reminder that you are not alone. With practical tools, real-life stories, and a focus on caregiver survival, this book gives you permission to breathe, to rest, and to keep going with renewed strength.
