Caregiver forum
Thank you to Nairek (Karin) for suggesting a Caregiver Support Forum. This has been a pet topic of mine, especially since my wife's presentation at a spine symposium GPN hosted in 2005.
Read about her presentation here: Caring for a loved one in pain I look forward to watching this new forum grow. Mark

Thank You!
Mark,
I remember a while back reading about the presentation that your wife had done regarding caring for a loved one in pain. I read her letter & it just tugged at my heart. Sometimes when you are in pain, you can't always see how your pain affects those around you. Or you may have a spouse who hides their pain & fear so others don't see it. I think it's important to help support not only those who are in pain but also those who are most affected by it. Thank you for starting this forum. I look forward to adding some threads to help the members of our community. Karin

This could be a huge thread as many of us do care or have looked after our older, helpless parents. It took a lot out of me emotionally and years later, to date, I still am amazed that I can sleep with the cell phone off w/o worrying about *the call* which happened too many times.
Best to all. - Allan
