Finding support during this challenging time is so important, and many people find that counseling groups specifically for families dealing with cancer can provide valuable emotional support and practical coping strategies. Consider reaching out to local cancer centers, hospitals, or organizations like the American Cancer Society, as they often offer family support groups or can connect you with resources in your area that understand what you're going through.

I found one at our local hospital (Kokomo, IN), but it wasn’t easy to find one.

There’s a bi-weekly zoom call I found that’s pretty helpful.
