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

Listen to these voices from our members offering their thoughts on their Conference Experiences.
