Many of the families I speak with are dealing with a spouse who is ill with chronic or terminal diseases. The guilt of placing their loved one in a community or residential care home eats away at the spouse. A great resource I mention to families is WELL SPOUSE ASSOCIATION 1-800-838-0879- the group and network offers support to the spouses and partners of the chronically ill or disabled. www.wellspouse.org check it out sometime!

Thanks for sharing this great resource, I have already passed on to a couple of families.
