Caregivers: How to
Support and Be Supported
|
|
Join The Group Room this Sunday for a unique discussion focused on caregivers
and how they cope.
Are you missing a loved one this holiday
season? Learn how one couple was able to deal with saying goodbye as we
highlight the new book Cancer and Death: A Love Story in Two Voices.
How can you reach out and touch someone suffering cancer without ever
leaving your house? Learn about Compassionate Communications, a new,
innovative website designed to uplift the spirits of people you have never met,
and support your favorite charity at the same time.
How do
Caregivers cope? In our Caregiver
Spotlight, learn how one
creative caregiver found an outlet through her book, Goddesses Don't Buy
Green Bananas.
How do you support your Bustier? The
Young
Adult Beat highlights the
organization Beyond Boobs, and they will tell you how!
And Advocacy in
Action® brings you tips and
information from the National Caregiver's Association.
