No one had bothered to tell her. This lady lives in a rural area where the disabled are usually hidden. She didn't want this for her husband and family. She didn't know there were so many disabled people in her area. Living in a farming area, the group decided to meet twice a month.
Every meeting brings more people with more ideas.
She is getting the support she needs, and at the same time, her husband is getting off the farm and back into the mainstream of life. They are learning from others, as others are learning from them. There is no right or wrong way to start a group. The group described above is informal. Families sharing the burdens, the laughter and the tears with other families.
