Aasa had built a life with her husband and children in Canada. However, when her father began exhibiting signs of dementia, she made the decision to return home to care for him. Driven by a strong sense of duty and obligation as a child and faced with her siblings unwillingness to acknowledge the dementia diagnosis, she knew she needed to be there. After several long months of caring for her farther, he finally passed. Upon arriving back to Canada, separated from the rest of her family, Aasa found solace in memories of her father to cope with the loneliness and grief.
After Caregiving is a documentary style web series in which former caregivers are asked to recount their experience in the weeks, months and years after their caregiving responsibilities end.
