Carer Mentor & QStack

Empathy and Inspiration

Dear Friends,

I’m very pleased to share QStack Collaborations with you.

Thanks to

Mr. Troy Ford

for the QStack request

Nothing says “Let’s be friends!” like a collaboration!

The call for collaboration I shared: June 4 Collaboration Request

The First Collaboration

I’m excited to share the ‘Waiting for a Serenade’ by

Ollie Redfern

at Picos Gêmeos

Waiting for a Serenade

Thanks to Ollie! You’ll see how the article’s tempo, switches of text and perspectives illustrate the multitude of emotional pivots any caregiver goes through, but it also underscores the monotony and repetitive questioning that plagues dementia.

Ollie has shared the intimacy of his daily life and intertwined humour which made me guffaw. 'I was more of a Zero Calories Daddy than a Sugar Daddy.'🤣

The collaboration cherry has been popped.

I wish I could orchestrate a serenade for Ollie. xo
