A note from the group leader:
Hi everyone,
I’m not someone living with chronic illness myself, but I recently lost my dad to one. I wasn’t his caregiver, but as his daughter, I was always ready to listen. Even though he achieved so much in his life, it was only after he passed that I learned about the emotional struggles he faced. I really wish he had had a space where he could open up and be heard.
I believe this support group is so important because it provides that space for those who might need it. Thanks for being here and sharing your stories. I look forward to leading this group and meeting all of you (virtually!).
Best,
Trishala
