| "We need to think about care as being woven throughout our lives, we are all care recipients". This thoughtful quote comes from the documentary "Caregiving", which we recently watched as part of an event hosted by the Canadian Caregiving Centre of Excellence. It also captured this hopeful tone: "we've made choices that got us here (as a society), and we can make different choices". In other words, the way things are now is not how they always were or always will be. This theme is also reflected in the experiences of the Sandwich Generation. This month, we feature resources on both of these topics and more. We hope you enjoy! |
