‘Maybe one day I’ll find the words to describe the depth of the experience I had as a simple human, a woman, a non-official First Lady and as a mom,’ she wrote on Instagram on Monday
Sophie Grégoire Trudeau reflected on her journey as a “simple human, a woman, a non-official First Lady” in a social media post the same day Justin Trudeau gave his farewell speech as the Liberal leader.
“It’s been quite the journey, hasn’t it? Maybe one day I’ll find the words to describe the depth of the experience I had as a simple human, a woman, a non-official First Lady and as a mom raising three kids whose loving father Justin was in full service to his country,” wrote Trudeau. “When a chapter ends, a new one begins.”
She continued: “I’m so proud of the hard work the Liberal team has accomplished in all corners of our country and I salute the sacrifices you’ve made in your own lives. I know first-hand what they entail.”
On Monday, Trudeau praised her daughter for speaking “with a solid and grounded presence while introducing dad.”
“Maman can’t be any more proud of your fierce mind and tender heart,” she wrote in the Instagram post.
Ella-Grace is the pair’s middle child. Her siblings are 17-year-old Xavier and 11-year-old Hadrien. Xavier did not appear to be at the event.

At the end of Trudeau’s post, she congratulated Carney, who she said will “continue to shine the light on our truths and the path ahead,” adding that the “work is far from over and sunny ways persist.”
She ended with a message to all her Canadian sisters and brothers, joking that she was “weeping now.”
“You offered my family and I so much love and support. Just know…I loved you first! Forever in service to all,” she wrote.
