CARING BRIDGE has helped several friends of mine get through rough times when they were very ill or when they were trying to keep family and friends informed about daily progress or problems. It's hard when you're coping with care, decisions, and worry to be able to keep in touch with all the people who are concerned and want to know how things are going.
What can you do when people you care about - or maybe even people who are dear to someone you care about - are going through long-term illnesses? One great thing is to suggest Caring Bridge to them.
This FREE SERVICE lets families create a personal website to tell their friends as much as they want to share and make it easy for friends and family to comment and encourage.
The link also gives other suggestions for making oneself useful in these times when sometimes it's hard to know how best to help. http://www.caringbridge.org/waystosupport2 .
Here is a bit of the information on the site.
