so true...

Caregivers are often given the phantom treatment when it comes to receivng any support. It is natural for the focus to be on the patient and nearly all caregivers are left undersupported. My wife comments often now nobody asked how she and the kids were doing or how they felt or were coping. Now her nobody is not zero but certainly limited to only a few very close friends and immediate family members.

wow, don, that breaks my heart!  i don't remember you going thru tx but i don't remember asking others here how their spouse and family was doing.  that is really sad, from this point on, i will make sure i ask about them too.  thank you for pointing that out.
