How WSA Helps

Rebecca

What do our members say about Well Spouse? Listen to the words of real spousal caregivers, like yourself, on how WSA membership has helped them in their caregiver journey.

Ambivalence

Peggy

Spousal caregivers face ambivalence in their marriage. There are so many decisions to make, so many things to do, and there's being a careigver to your spouse, a parent to your children, and sometimes taking care of your parents, as well. It's natural to feel ambivalence. Listen to these members describe their feelings of ambivalence and isolation.

Conference Experiences

2007 Conference Attending the WSA Annual Conference is an experience unlike any other. Support abounds, life-long friendships are made, and workshops are held on various topics relevant to all spousal caregivers. Whether you are a current caregiver or a former well spouse, you'll find a welcoming group of people ready to share stories and advice. And, of course what would any weekend away be without respite time to see local sights or just even take a nap! Listen to these voices from our members offering their thoughts on their Conference Experiences.

Fact: Members

Note: For 21 years an annual supporting membership, including a subscription to Mainstay and other benefits was $25. Recently, the WSA Board voted to raise that cost by $5 to $30 in the U.S. and $35 elsewhere in North America. Overseas, Mainstay will only be available elecronically, in the members' area. Had we kept up to inflation the cost today would be $43.50.

Two-thirds of the members of the Well Spouse are under 65. About one-third are under age 45. We have members who are in their 20’s and 30’s, especially with ill spouses who have Traumatic Brain Injury, or MS. Let others who have “been there and done that” help you face the challenges of long-term caregiving.

Playing the Canada Card: an American Caregiver's Experience

Playing the Canada Card:

an American Caregiver's Experience

My husband John’s disease erupted like fireworks in the afternoon of my New Year’s Eve birthday seven years ago. I went out for the afternoon and returned home to find a stranger who only looked like John, talking gibberish and tearing our house apart at the seams. The siege lasted 16 hours.I thought of survival, not of Canada. As it turned out, survival and Canada would become one and the same.
