    "The story of a lifetime between two brothers" captures the relationship between older brother and younger brother, a tale of love, responsibility, and hope.

    From a young age, Simon knew his brother was different. His brother's movements, communication, emotions, and intelligence were all unlike those of others. Faced with various "quirky" behaviors resulting from his brother's condition, Simon once chose to distance himself from his brother and family. He would avoid going out with him and preferred to sit at a separate table during meals to prevent others from knowing about him. However, as their mother aged, Simon gradually realized that caring for his brother was a responsibility he could not escape, and he was the family's only support. Consequently, he enrolled in courses related to social work and nursing, eventually becoming a social worker dedicated to helping others help themselves. On the day of his graduation photoshoot, the embrace shared among the family confirmed the true meaning of "the story of a lifetime between two brothers."

    The bitterness and sacrifices of caregivers often go unnoticed. Facing the long journey of caregiving and supporting caregivers is not just about coordination among family members; it's also a societal responsibility. Therefore, the older brother attends the "Fu Hong Association" Adult Training Center, funded by the Social Welfare Department, from Monday to Friday. There, he receives training and daytime care, finding a space that belongs to him while allowing the family some much-needed respite.

      The Last Homework

      Monkey reconnected with her elementary school teacher, Erica Chan, in 2008 and became her primary caregiver after learning of her stage four cancer diagnosis, sharing the burden with Erica's husband. During the journey of accompanying Erica until her passing, Monkey, encouraged by her teacher, not only rediscovered her passion for art but also learned to confront life, death, and regrets. More importantly, she created precious memories with Erica throughout the caregiving process.

      Ding Ding, inspired by her own experience caring for her mother, established the "Human Flower Journal" project to provide caregivers with a space for relaxation and emotional release. Monkey will collaborate with Ding Ding in a limited partnership to support more caregivers in the "mental garden."

      Hand in Hand

      Because of love, the originally rugged path can continue, allowing each other to avoid loneliness.

      Sixty-three-year-old contractor "Brother Gai" has been in a relationship with his girlfriend Sandy for 30 years. However, a diagnosis in 2022 changed everything. Brother Gai was diagnosed with motor neuron disease, and within just a year, his condition deteriorated to the point where he could no longer move or speak. In an instant, Sandy transformed from a pampered woman into a caregiver, taking on the responsibility of caring for Brother Gai and cherishing the limited time they have left together.

      Fortunately, through the collaboration of government agencies, the Tuen Mun Hospital's palliative care team, and community groups like the Anglican Church's Elderly Community Centre's palliative care services, Sandy and Brother Gai received the professional support they needed to "live well" in their remaining time. This support allows them to not feel alone on their caregiving journey and to walk further together.

    • A Unique Child Ⅱ

      A Unique Child Ⅱ

      In the early morning hours, caregiver support hotline social worker Janet sits in her office, waiting for each call.

      “Hello, caregiver support hotline... Are you looking for respite care?”

      As usual, Janet searches the database for suitable openings, but she pays close attention to the caller's tone, as each caller may be teetering on the brink.

      Mrs. Cheng is one such caller.

      Mr. Cheng suffered a stroke a few years ago, resulting in reduced mobility in his lower body and requiring long-term care. What worries Mrs. Cheng the most is that her husband might collapse at any moment.

      Sensitive Janet encounters a variety of cases daily and senses that Mrs. Cheng has reached a breaking point:

      “I’ve thought about just ending it all...”

      And Mrs. Cheng is not the only one.

      Caregiver Yoki has also faced the pressures of caregiving, reaching a breaking point emotionally.

      Yoki has a daughter, Haley, who suffers from the rare condition known as "stone disease." Currently, there is no cure for this rare illness; only medication can provide relief. With medication costs exceeding one million a year, Yoki, who has already quit her job, feels overwhelmed.

      Fortunately, through her caregiving journey, Yoki has gradually realized that caregivers must take care of themselves. In this episode, Yoki will embark on a little trip with the host to reflect on her own needs.

      A Unique Child Ⅰ

      Eleven-year-old student (Haley) suffers from a rare condition known as "stone disease," which locks certain important joints and causes a hunchback, affecting her upper body mobility. She cannot use the restroom independently and requires 24-hour care.

      Her mother, Yoki, is the primary caregiver and has been by her side throughout her battle with the illness. However, Haley faces not only physical limitations but also the endless restrictions that come with her condition.

      Haley loves ice skating and biking, but the enemy of "stone disease" is injury. If a patient falls, wounds may not heal automatically, potentially leading to new bone growth and the risk of permanent disability.

      "Letting her try means facing the risk of permanent disability, but with limited time, should we allow her to try and enjoy life as much as possible?"

      Haley’s condition is estimated to occur in only 1 in a million people, making her a rare case. Yoki worries that Haley will become weaker over time, so she has decided to give up her stable job to spend more time with Haley, cherishing the moments when they can still go out together as a family.
