Scared,
You have found the best sight to polish your caregiving skills. You will receive lots of support emotionally and technically. Continue to read, read, read. There will be days when this will shock you, make you cry, but I think you are like me...you don't want to be blindsided by something that a little research would have prevented.

Knowledge is power and a good support group is even more powerful! We will see you through this one way or another as each of us has something to give to you.

Thinking of you as you start your walk "thru the storm." I have posted these lyrics from that song before..it helped me when I was at my lowest:

When you walk through the storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark

Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
