Sign up as a WSA Mentor/Mentee

Experienced spousal caregivers are the best resource for new spousal caregivers!

No one understands the unique challenges a well spouse faces than one who is or has undergone the caregiver journey. Mentors must first be WSA supporting members before they can volunteer in this position. Mentees -- persons seeking a mentor -- must also first be WSA supporting members. Support is given to mentees through one-on-one contact via email or phone.

Volunteer to be a WSA mentor! Or ask for a Mentor! <Click here> and be sure to include "Mentor" or "Mentee" in your request.

The Most Loving Thing

By Dizzy -- WSA Support Group Leader, Forum and WSA Member

A year ago today I walked out of the assisted living community without her. It was quiet--deeply quiet--walking alone to my rented car and driving away. Away. A dreadful word loomed just beyond my sense of exhaustion, relief and freedom. I didn't think about it head-on, but it lurked there waiting. Abandonment.

A series of illness had hijacked her, and me, and dropped us in a strange land. Her with dementia, me with my own madness for which I have no name. It is the madness of loss--loss of a lovely home, a good job, friends, family, retirement, travel, community, intimacy, companionship--peace.
