"The caregiver support group provides an outlet for issues you can't share with others."

"I look so forward to the meetings. Even now when John is in a nursing home, I still attend."

"I always come away refreshed from our monthly meeting."

"I do not get severely depressed as much."

"I understand that my negative thoughts are normal and my anger is at the illness, not the patient."

"If I don't take care of myself, I won't be able to take care of my family and my 91-year-old mother."

"The programs are so informing that I always feel upbeat afterwards."

"It gives me a break and the friendships I have acquired are priceless."
