CAREGIVER HELP

[Izzygirl1]

What is the best option for a spouse to connect with other caregivers? I think I need to talk to some other wives who are walking in my shoes. Should I do an online support group, in-person, etc.? I apologize if this is not the correct spot to post this question. Love and ((HUGS)) to all.

I have been caregiver for about 8 years to my husband. A group was formed here about a year ago. Not sure how active it is. Here's the URL. See if it works: healthunlocked.com/advanced....

Try copy & Paste? Or contact Darryl, who is the lead here.

Thanks Darryl, I looked but there were no current postings. I remember reading posts in this group a while back.

[Darryl Partner in reply to Hidden]

So, make a post! There are over six hundred caregivers in that group. Let’s rev up the energy

[Hidden in reply to Darryl]

Lol...I did!

[Izzygirl1 in reply to Hidden]

I did too!

Hi Lizzygirl1 I was dx with rare advanced aggressive and my wife feels very worried as you.Suggest you watch Youtube Video Prostate Cancer Research Institute [Caregivers Story June 2021] Also many caregivers post on this Group

Thank you d3is4me! Thank you for that info and give your wife a ((HUG)) for me! I am saying a prayer for you and everyone battling this cancer right now.

Thank you Happie58! I will have to get back on Facebook (I was hacked a year ago and just dropped my account in fear). Thank you for reaching out to me! I hope your husband is doing well. My husband just had his first 2 Firmagon shots a week ago and all his terrible pain is gone right now.... but I know we have a long journey ahead.

Hacking is quite common on FB, just change your password. I don't have any personal info on FB and have my privacy settings set for friends only. I know some people will write about pretty private things and post pictures that they shouldn't.

Izzy-I’m also willing to chat with you. DH’s diagnosis was 9 years and lots of treatments ago. Message me for email if you want to connect. Beth

OK...this is good. Thanks.

my wife says this wife (spouse) and caregiver group isn’t very active and she wishes it was. She also comments that there is much negative energy on the Facebook group so she stays away from it. She’s feeling very hopeless and alone at this point and I really have nothing to offer to help her as I am pretty numb from ADT and worn out from treatment and have no answers for her.

[Izzygirl1 in reply to MSPCF2021]

I’m happy to connect with her! No negativity! ❤️
