If one of your parents is caring for the other, put her in touch with Well Spouse Association, an organization that provides information and support for people whose partners are chronically ill or disabled. Well Spouse was established to help ease the isolation of life as a spousal caregiver (its motto is "You Are Not Alone"). The association offers a newsletter with care-giving information and advice, puts members in touch with support groups in their area and with mentors online, and organizes regular "Respite Weekends" so caregivers can get away and connect with others who share their experience.
