Resilience
Review for Well Spouse Association, Freehold, NJ, USA
Being a caregiver to a spouse with a chronic illness means saying goodbye to your hopes and dreams for the future. It often means a loss of intimacy, depression, isolation, and financial devastation. I know of no other organization that provides the kind of support and validation that the WSA does to spousal caregivers. Members of the WSA will find kindred spirits within their local support groups, through the WSA on line forum, and in the quarterly newsletter "Mainstay." The people who are a part of this wonderful organization "get it" like no else can.
