Re: support group

[Guest guest]

Hi KOs,

For those who are interested in joining a support group in their area,

the URL of Helen's Regional NonBP Support Group website is:

http://www.voy.com/79827/

I've met lots of NonBPs and KOs over the years. A group of us KOs spent

a weekend in Wisconsin one year and in Austin, TX another year. And I've

met Carol M, who is on this list, a couple of times for lunch. Carol

lives about 10 miles west of me here in So California. And other KOs

have met in NY. Its like our nadas all attended the same Nada School.

KOs talk a lot when they get together. Lotsa fun!

If you call the Alzheimer's Association, they can give you the

location of an AD support group near you. While LBD shares some

characteristics with AD, there will be some clear differences. What

will help though, is the connection with other people facing the

same emotional impact that caring for a LO with dementia causes.

Hope that helps.
