Making sense of all the madness
Hi ,
Some of us have already started our holiday celebrations, while others still have a few days or weeks to prepare. I know this can be an especially difficult time of year for those of us who are missing a loved one or learning to adapt the holidays to a new way of life. If you'd like to write it out, you can share your thoughts with the community in our LiveJournal group.
Want to introduce yourself to the community? Let us get to know you by answering these questions. Please let us know if you can help moderate the forums or chat and if you're interested in writing about your caregiving journey on our site. If you take a peek at our chat moderation schedule you can see just how badly we need your help.
You might have noticed our site was down for three hours yesterday. I don't want to burden you with our website drama, but we're hiring new web developers to create a new new website early in the new year. I'm sorry the current site is so slow; please bear with us as we get things fixed up.
Have a great weekend,

A promise I made to my husband that's every bit as sacred as our marriage vows.

Filling a painkiller prescription?
Laws meant to protect us can make life harder for caregivers. Here's what you need to know - that I learned the hard way.

The holidays are supposed to be about joy, family, and gratitude. Don't let worries about weight gain get in the way of your celebration.

Working caregivers were in the news this week, along with discussions of the roles millenials, gen X, and boomers play in caregiving.
