Description

Join me today as we talk with a former caregiver, Geneviève McLean. She was the caregiver to her husband who was diagnosed with Dementia in 2017 and chose as a family to do medical aid in dying. She shares her grieving process and the decisions that lead up to making this choice. Her bravery and boldness to share her story gives us a glimpse into a topic that is normally taboo. If you have a question for Geneviève, please feel free to email us at caregiversretreatinfo@gmail.com.
