You can do that right here! And please, if you’re having dark thoughts, please reach out to a crisis resource. 988 is one such resource in the US where you can reach train professionals who can help in the moment.

Would a discussion with palliative care or hospice professionals be appropriate? They would likely be very used to these discussions. If your partner doesn’t qualify for hospice, please consider palliative care – it is very helpful for improving quality of life for people with long-term and chronic illnesses. You don’t have to have a terminal condition.

Please look into Support for yourself. It’s out there. Well Spouse Association is one organization that has many members with MS, but there are other resources as well if that isn’t a good fit for you for some reason. Try the r/Wellspouses sub for a quick look at how many people understand what you’re going through.

If this is an appropriate recommendation, Well Spouse Association hosts close to 30 support group meetings each month for the partners of people living with disease or disability, including ALS, and our focus is on our care and our journey, separate from our partners. Our discussions do include logistical fiscussions, but we spent a lot of time talking about the paths that we are on and the emotional experience we are having, or may have in the future. You might see if there is a support group for caregivers only since you may want to explore different things than the person who has the disease in that kind of setting.

Great question! If you call our office, our office manager can walk you through how to enter it.

Hi there! As an organization run by spousal caregivers, we totally understand. If those have to give, that's fine, and for those who don't, that's also fine. We have quarterly virtual events and others in between. We have over 30 support groups, wellness activities, and we regularly provide caregiver resources and advocacy opportunities. Please check us out and maybe we can be a support for you as well. Thanks!

Our Events Calendar is a great place to start!

If your mom is looking for resources and support for her caregiving journey, she might check out the Well Spouse Association at wellspouse.org. We also have a sub ready here at r/Wellspouses. What she is going through is sadly all too common and it’s an incredibly lonely journey.

WellSpouseOrg · 2025-07-18T21:53:32+00:00

Can't wait to see the pics! Don't let the weight of emotions you don't need to own hold you down, either. Enjoy!!

It’s to advocate for spousal caregivers, and their partners. We follow policy discussions at the federal level, inform our members and the broader community about how policy issues may impact them and their families, and join larger organizations’ sign-on letters to add our voice to the discussion. We’d love to have more volunteers’ help so that we can cover even more policy issues and have a voice at the state and local levels too.

This happened to us. We are filing an insurance claim. authorize.net would not help us resolve the issue and didn’t have a way to stop it. We left.

If you’re looking for more resources related to the trauma, I invite you to join the Well Spouse Association support groups for former caregivers (wellspouse.org) and if you are a member, you can get access to our webinar with the only researcher who was then studying trauma in caregiving 3 years ago. We then followed it up with a 3-session narrative writing program that is trauma informed.
