520 $a This study explores the impact that spirituality has on the life of an Alzheimer's and Related Dementia (ADRD) spousal caregiver. Based on a phenomenological methodology, 11 ADRD caregivers described how their spiritual lives influence their daily experiences in caring for their spouse. Through discussion with these participants, certain thematic elements emerged: Spirituality versus Religion, Trusting God, Don't Ask Why, and Growth and Understanding.
520 $a The investigation indicates that spirituality primarily impacts the daily experiences ADRD spousal caregivers by allowing them to Let Go and Let God instead of dwelling on asking God why their spouse developed ADRD. This ability has provided these caregivers with a reason to continue living efficiently and effectively day after day despite the difficulties often associated with this role.
