“It’s such a relief to know that there are others that are in the same boat...I don’t have to go through this alone.”
“Initially I was getting most of my ‘need to know’ information from volunteers, now most of the information from other Caregivers.”
“My last Caregiver meeting was a rough one, but at least 3 other Caregivers reached out to me after the meeting to give me support...I was overwhelmed.”
“keep telling myself, if I only knew this when I was starting my journey, it would have been so much easier.”
