   Thank you for talking about this subject. Communication is really important if your'e in this situation. My parents are both in their sixties but they are not well and I take care of them now. I meet my caregiver's support group every month.

   A support group is absolutely VITAL if you are to cope with (and survive) the miriad of caregiving and caregiver issues. My husband and I have been a part of Kay's support groups off and on over the last ten or so years while caring for my mom and my husband's mom (who have both passed on) and now in caring for my husband's dad. I cannot imagine how we would have survived without Kay's invaluable support and guidance, and our support group. It is a huge comfort to know that you are not in this alone, and that there are many others with similar experiences and ideas to share.
