Caregiving Blogs Progressive Party
I wrote yesterday about not participating in the party — really, I’m just not participating with the Webring implementation.
I think visiting other sites where folks are writing about family caregiving is a super idea. You’ll probably be surprised at the abundance of good stuff out there, and I’m sure you’ll find things that are useful and encouraging. And hey, drop some comment love while you’re visiting to encourage these writers!
Here’s the latest list from Denise at Caregiving.com who organized the party (thanks, Denise).
On Caregiving.com, three family caregivers share their days through their own blogs:
- Gary cares for his mother
- Sharon cares for her husband
- Tara cares for her mother

Since it’s rainy and dreary here in Houston this morning, a little party is a great idea!

Hi Jim! Yay! I’m glad to spend a Saturday morning partying with you.
You’re a terrific resource for family caregivers. And, thanks for the feedback on the webring. I didn’t run into those odd links when I went through the ring, but webring does have it’s imperfections. I wanted to try it… because my initial research found that to be the best one. But… I did just find another ring we can use for future parties that looks much easier to use. Hurray!
Have a great weekend. And, thanks again for the great support!
Best,
Denise
