Caregivers need emotional support too

@bigmaya and @blue2 I know an in person support group would be so helpful for you. Have you checked with the Area Agency on Aging in your town. They might know of some support groups. If their is a social worker in the doctor’s office, they might know of resources. There are some Facebook groups, also.
I hope you find some support soon.

Thanks much for the reply.
The support groups I went to were not very helpful but I only went to two. The Facebook idea is worth a try.
I appreciate the ideas.
Hello Becky and thank you!
Hope YOU are doing well.
Though considered a high end place (we just rent to have a small garden and a place for our cats) the so called social services are practically non-existent here. I've been knocking on doors for over a year now without response. I've made it clear to them that it's not money or food stamps that l'm looking for but some emotional support, companionship but ZERO so far. I have a social worker from our health fund l talk to 45 minutes, on the phone, once a week... but that's all. She hides behind an "outgoing calls only" number so l can't even reach out if l need her. Enough of my ranting🦉😸🙏
