I'm new on this site and need a bit of guidance

Are there any group chat sessions that I could join in or just listen too and if so, how do I join. My husband is in ICU and has been there since 17th January with Covid pneumomia. He has been sedated, ventilated and then had a tracheostomy. Thankfully he now has had that removed and was doing well with rehab and physio, but has just caught a chest infection and taken a backward step in his recovery. Think it would help me to hear other people's experiences and coping mechanisms. Thanks.
