Does anyone know of an online caregiving group for younger caregivers/patients?

Hello. My friend is a 20-something woman with a husband who was recently seriously injured.


Does anyone know of an online caregiving group like this one I could suggest to her?

Grandma 1954....My wife is 67 years old and was the energizer bunny until ALS struck. She was diagnosed on Dec 6,2021 and is on a rapid downhill slide .I am her caretaker and it is taking a toll on me. You are correct. We mostly hear about caring for people in their 80's and 90's.

The problems and struggles of being a caregiver are not age restricted.
Yes many are dealing with older parents.
But many are spouses and many of the obstacles are similar.
If there are specific questions they can be asked as well. (no question is "dumb, silly, stupid" so have your friend feel free to ask whatever is important to her)

I don't know of any online caregiving forum for young people but this a very good place to start.
