This episode would never have happened had a one-time street performer/goofy clown turned dedicated caregiver for his terminally ill spouse not scribbled his phone number onto a piece of scrap paper and put it into the palm of host BJ Doyle’s hand. It's a story that’s still being written and part of the latest episode of “Caring For Changes”.

For Chris Rosati, being thrust into the role of caregiver to his wife Jane ended up being the most profound experience of his life. It also meant a crash course in reinventing himself through his and Jane’s shared experience of drawing on humour to eventually emerge as both a storyteller and caregiver advocate.

Our last episode of 2025 stands as a cautionary tale for anyone embarking on the journey of caring for a loved one from afar. Within it you’ll hear some relatable experience, sage advice, and how all the planning, persistence and diligence still can’t answer the question, “How can 30 washcloths simply disappear?” Check it out here:

Episode 15 - Caregiving From A Distance

Anyone who’s ever tried managing care for a loved from a distance can relate to Pierre Pelletier’s story. As both his and his siblings’ parents’ health began to decline, the miles that separated them came into play as circumstance, adjustment and finally acceptance dictated their journey’s unfolding.

Here is a video from the Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence’s Canadian Caregiving Summit 2025 held Nov 3rd/4th in Ottawa that B.J. Doyle, our caregiver companion and podcaster for Caring for Changes, attended and helped moderate.

The video is the last 3 minutes of the segment “Care In The Media”. The Globe and Mail’s André Picard makes an excellent point here about doing a better job of integrating dementia care recipients into our communities.
