1. Yes, I would like one |
2. No, one is not needed |
After reading Dustin's rules on new groups, it stated we had to put this new group in the form of a poll, so here it is!
I am a caregiver for my adult daughter, and would love a place to go and get support at times.

it's a very good idea ....the one's who do it as a job ....can help the ones who are learning to take care of their own ....just sharing little things that some would never guess could make the process easier all the way around for everyone....

Very good idea. I was the main caregiver for my mom for 4 years...sometimes you just need someone to understand what you are going thru.

Being the sole caregiver of my disabled mother , I understand how hard it can be . Specialy when its a child who has to take care of a parent . Yes it can be extremely depressing . And those who haven't been in a similar situation just can't fully understand what we have to go through .

Yes, it would be nice to have a group that understands the hard work and constant need to remain strong and positive. People who are going through or have gone through will understand the exhaustion but need to keep going and will have good suggestions (from experience) of what to do to keep strength. They will also have tips on how to handle various needs ... medical, legal, and spiritual.

Being a retired RN and realizing many have taken on the daunting task, with love, the responsibility of being a caregiver should have a common place were they can meet and discuss the trials and rewards of their day. Many have children or parents whom they must attend to everyday and need a place to vent.

I was the caregiver for my mother for a year. She had lung cancer and was completely dependent on me for everything. We had major issues and a group such as this would have been so helpful then and now that she passed this month, I find I still need help in learning how to live without someone depending on me. Thanks for this opportunity.
