Hello! Welcome to the group @janetgeller9. I am sure you were taken aback when you found out about your spouse's diagnosis. My heart goes out to you. It is a hard pill to swallow. My spouse has had Parkinsons for quite some time. He has other health conditions which make it a hard journey even harder. That being said..we talk to one another on this site. It depends where you live as far as in person support groups. Check with your local YMCA. That is where we began. I find this site and the Parkinsons Association has lots of information. I have researched every place I can find. My main reason for that is my Dad, brother and of course my spouse have Parkinsons. My Dad died in 2018. My spouse was diagnosed 12 days later. Hugs!

Thank you for your compassionate and welcoming remarks. Yes, I was taken aback as Stan(my husband) has always been a physically strong, sharp brained guy. The change is overwhelming and very sad to me. I feel a great loss has occurred which I'm having difficulty coping with. I’m disappointed that, so far, I haven’t found a support group in person or second best-Zoom. I want to see others but for now, I’m grateful for this platform and your kind words. You, yourself have quite a handful to bear. I feel for you too.
