A thousand and one little pleasures

The entire team at l’Appui wishes you a holiday season filled with little joys:

• unexpected moments that warm the heart,
• eyes that sparkle, winks and knowing glances,
• new traditions added to old ones,
• moments of calm,
• the comforting warmth of your favourite beverage,
• the pleasure of a walk the day after a snowstorm,
• the sense of fulfillment of a hand clasped in yours, a soothing hug, a supportive embrace,
• the courage to set aside a few moments just for you,
• intimate moments with your loved ones,
• new memories with loved ones and the sharing of more distant ones,
• a feeling of serenity, even if only for an evening, which is sometimes so difficult when you’re a caregiver.

We hope you will embrace these small pleasures, no matter how small they may seem, and enjoy every little victory. After all, the rest can wait.

We’re also thinking of you if you find it difficult to enjoy these small pleasures because your loved one’s health is deteriorating, you’re overwhelmed by worry or they’re no longer with you. This can be a particularly stressful time, and you have every right to find it difficult—our Caregiver Support team is there to help.

In 2024, we’ll continue to stand by your side, to support you and to work with those who take the small pleasures of caregivers to heart.

Happy holidays,

The l’Appui team
