Dominique Brunet

Respite worker

“Each baluchonnage is the source of that little spark in my heart, the one that first fuels my curiosity about the other person, then grows and nourishes my compassion for this very special person whom I support in their daily life, here and now, according to their needs.

Coming through the door of your home, I open a window on their past, still alive, awakened by a photo, a place, a familiar smell. I don’t expect words, but I watch their eyes and smiles. Their world may be different from mine, from yours, but it’s very real and deserves all my respect.”
