​Because each caregiving journey, while unique, contains invaluable learnings.

Did you know that one in three Quebecers takes care of a loved one (APPUI, 2022)? Behind this statistic lies a multiplicity of human experiences. Each caregiving journey is unique and contains key learnings.

 

That's why GASO is delighted to share these heartfelt words from caregivers, generously offered by our members. We truly believe in the power of their experiences.

We hope their words will inspire you, their insights will offer guidance, and their situations will resonate with your own experiences as caregivers!

Facing your own limits, with Odette

"Caregiving showed me that while I cared about my mother's well-being, it wasn't enough, because there was also dementia and this disease requires external support."
