When the Little Things Start Feeling Big: What to Do When You’re Worried About Memory Loss
You’ve seen the signs—small things, at first.
A birthday missed. A favorite recipe forgotten. A conversation repeated three times in one day.
And maybe your gut whispered: “This isn’t just aging.”
That whisper is hard to ignore. And if you’re reading this, it means you love someone enough to pay attention to it.
Whether you’re caring for a parent, a spouse or a friend who’s starting to change in ways you don’t fully understand—this moment matters.
You’re not overreacting.
You’re not alone.
And there’s something you can do about it.
What Are the Early Signs of Dementia?
Knowing the difference between “senior moments” and signs of something more serious—like Alzheimer’s or dementia—can be life-changing.
Some common warning signs include:
- Repeated memory loss that disrupts daily life
- Difficulty following conversations or plans
- Mood changes, confusion, or withdrawal
- Misplacing items in odd places and not being able to retrace steps
- Trouble completing familiar tasks
The earlier you understand what’s happening, the sooner you can take action—and protect the person you love.
