Your Stories: Carents in their own words
At Carents, we believe in the power of shared experience. That’s why we created Your Stories – a space for adult children caring for their parents to tell their truth.
These are honest accounts from real Carents: navigating the highs, lows and everything in between. You’ll find moments of hope, resilience, humour and deep love – all shared to help others feel seen, heard and supported.
Whether you’re just beginning your carenting journey or well along the way, there’s comfort in knowing you’re not alone. These stories remind us that behind every caring role is a unique and valuable human story.
These stories reflect personal experiences and are not a substitute for medical or professional advice – always seek guidance from healthcare professionals.
Why share your story?
Share Your Story
Every Carent has a story.
Whether it’s a quiet moment of connection, a turning point in your journey, or simply a reflection on what caring for your parent has taught you – we’d love to hear it.
Your story could help someone else feel seen, supported or a little less alone.
If you’d like to share your experience with the Carents community, we welcome you to get in touch. You don’t need to be a writer – just speak from the heart.
(We’ll guide you through the process, and you can choose to stay anonymous if you prefer.)
