support

When you are going through a tough time who do you go to for support? Spouse, friends, parents? If need be do you see a professional or seek out a support group? I fully believe that there is no shame in seeking out support. Sometimes there is no choice. Life is rough, and unfair, and it sends us all situations that nobody can be prepared for. Has this happened to you? Have you been handed something that is hard to deal with? Do you know someone that has?
You can be a great help by just listening and being there for that person. I know that without our local support group....well, I don't know where I would be. Their support, services, programs have helped me through some rough times. They are a shoulder to cry on, they are a wealth of information. They saved my sanity.

  1. Support groups have helped me through many hard times. I too would be lost without our local support group, PAK. I can't count how many times I've read a post from another food allergy parent that has helped me get through a tough day or situation. I'm thankful for support groups. Sometimes it's all you have. Being a SAHM, there's no time for professional therapy and family isn't always close by or doesn't really understand. Yayyy for free support goups!
