In this week’s poll, sponsored by Caregiving.com and eCareDiary.com, we wonder: How do you keep in touch with family and friends?
Let’s Disrupt!!
You are a disruptor. The delivery of health care starts with you, continues because of you, and ends with you. Let's disrupt together to make the world better for family caregivers. Join our group to share how you disrupt. And, feel free to share our Caregiving.com flyer wherever you go in your community.

What friends? After almost 12 years of being a caregiver to my husband, they have all disappeared! As for family, they aren’t much better, sorry to say. And it doesn’t seem as though anyone is very interested in being a friend! Guess it’s out of their comfort zone to be around my situation. It’s a very, very lonely life!

Francine….welcome to the group….at some point or another we all have felt exactly like you described. I hope when you find the time you will pop in and keep in touch with us. I never imagined in all my life the amount of friends i would make with my keyboard and computer screen.
Denise
Hi–I hope you will stay in touch with us!
I hope we’ll help lessen the loneliness. I think that’s the toughest part–to feel alone because of the experience. I hope it helps to know that others understand and know.
