AB - This study aims to understand the experiences of menopausal women while they are caring parents with dementia. Ten menopausal women who have experiences in caring for parents with dementia were selected by means of a purposive sampling, and Giorgi’s phenomenological method was used for data analysis. Six components were identified: (1) “parents did behalf of family vacancies”, (2) “parents were diagnosed with dementia without compensation for aging”, (3) “I am too old to afford to care parents with dementia”, (4) “parents felt isolated living away from family”, (5) “I did not want to pass down my caring responsibility for demented parents to my children”, and (6) “I planned my life which should be different from my parents”. The essential structure of caring experience for parents with dementia among menopausal women was found to be “finding oneself in the vortex of grief and loss.” In conclusion, mental care should be provided to women who are taking care of parents with dementia.
