accident attack without warning and can happen to anyone. No two
people are living in the same situation and no two illnesses exact
the same toll. Alzheimer's is different from MS, heart disease is
different from Parkinson's, stroke is different from accident. But
all well spouses face the same problems of anger, guilt, fear,
isolation, grief, and financial threat whether they are full-time

disabling illnesses. The aim of this program is to provide help
and support to wellspouses by facilitating one-to-one dialogue
between a WSF member seeking such personal support and a more
"experienced" spousal caregiver. For more information on
volunteering to mentor another wellspouse or to seek the help of a
mentor, see our Mentors page. 63 West Main Street, Suite H,
