Hi new to this forum but could really use support from people going through similar things and hopefully I can offer support as well


my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in December after nearly a year of doctors trying to figure out what is wrong


needless to say , there are times I am overwhelmed.


just hoping to connect with others that understand what I am going through

Hey @turquoiseMel, welcome to the community.

I'm sorry to hear about your husband's condition, it's difficult being a caregiver and very valid for you to feel overwhelmed at times.

I'm glad you're reaching out for support in 7 cups, times when you'd need a space to share some of that overwhelming pit in your chest, you deserve it and with a lot of compassion and patience.

There's also a family and support sub community: https://www.7cups.com/home/familyandcaregivers/ here, under which is a topic (sort of a sub-category/ forum) "Support for Caregivers and Recipients of Care"~ a space with lots of reminders that you're not alone and can reach out for emotional support and company always.

Sending lots of love and strength y'alls way, as you navigate through this difficult time. ❤
