Welcome Sara!! I too am fairly new here but already feel so welcomed by everyone. I suspect it will be the same for you. This is just the best community to land in! Everybody seems to laugh, cry, help each other so willingly and lovingly. It helps to read back through previous posts...I have learned much!

G'Day Clinton
Sorry you needed to find us but you will have an understanding ear, a shoulder to lean on and a 'family' that knows that the Well Spouse loses nearly as much as the Ill Spouse in the relationship. We care about you (and your spouse and family) - your need to de-stress, your need for validation. Here we have face-to-face support group meetings wherever possible with other Well Spouse. If you know anyone in your area caring for an ill spouse or partner you would not believe how good it can be to just get together for a meal and a beer(?). Jump on whenever you are ready - this is a supportive group. Be thankful the thornbushes have roses!
