Caring Bridge Not Just For Children

Many people have seen Caring Bridge’s lovely websites in which family members can updates friends and loved ones around the world on the emotional and physical conditions of a sick family member. Until recently, I thought it was just for children. A friend of mine has an adult son who was very sick, and he and his wife struggled to balance work, hospital trips, and the literally hundreds of calls and emails to see how he was doing.
If you or a loved one is struggling with lymphoma or other health condition and are looking for way to keep friends and family in the loop, consider creating a caring bridge page. A CaringBridge website is free, personal, private and available 24/7. It helps ease the burden of keeping family and friends informed. The websites are easy to create and use. Authors add health updates and photos to share their story while visitors leave messages of love and support in the guestbook.
• Each day, over half-a-million people connect through CaringBridge.
• More than 1 billion visits have been made to personal CaringBridge websites.
• The CaringBridge community includes authors, visitors and/or donors in all 50 states and more than 215 countries/territories around the world.
If you are interested in supporting the work of Caring Bridge, it is a charitable nonprofit organization. Their mission is admirable: to bring together a global community of care powered by the love of family and friends in an easy, accessible and private way.
