WellSpouse.org is a support forum for spousal caregivers
Title
Welcome to The Well Spouse Association
Description
Illness and accident attack without warning and can happen to anyone. No two people are living in the same situation and no two illnesses exact the same toll. Alzheimer's is different from MS, heart disease is different from Parkinson's, stroke is different from accident. But all well spouses face similar problems of anger, guilt, fear, isolation, grief, and financial threat whether they are full-time caregivers or whether their partners have only moderately disabling illnesses.
Well Spouse is a national, not for profit membership organization which gives support to wives, husbands, and partners of the chronically ill and/or disabled. Well Spouse support groups meet monthly. Here, our members can share their thoughts and feelings openly with others facing similar circumstances in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. WS support groups are also an excellent source for information on a wide-range of practical issues facing spousal caregivers. Well Spouse support groups exist or are being formed in many areas of the country. To contact a support group near you or to learn how to start a group, please go to our "SUPPORT GROUPS" page.
Well Spouse publishes a quarterly newsletter, "Mainstay".Our organization also helps set up letter writing "round robins" to help those members who can't get out too often break the bonds of isolation.
