Informal care: ‘Throw open your cloak,
make your concerns visible’.
Informal care is often unrecognized - not by the environment, but especially not by the informal caregiver himself. The mantle symbolizes everything that comes with care: warmth, sense of duty, fatigue, loyalty. Sometimes it feels comfortable, sometimes it weighs heavily on your shoulders. Surplus invites people to “throw open” that cloak - to make care visible and find recognition. Because by sharing it, the burden is already lightened a little bit. We like to open the conversation about informal care further - within families, neighborhoods and municipalities.
Out.of.love
If you are a caregiver, you do it out of love. For the other person, because you give. Because you love. Because you love.
Because the other person is important to you. So you care. out.of.love. You express love through those little moments, by being there AND helping. But when does your own love go out? Do you stop loving yourself or the other for a moment? Do you express yourself then? Out of your love. For yourself.
For the other person. Because you do it, out of love. In the uit.liefde campaign, four family caregivers tell their stories in the minizine and the uit.liefde podcast.
