Fwd: OWN Network to Feature Primary Caregivers to Older Adults--Volunteers Needed

[Guest guest]

I received this message from a researcher I know well. He is an authority

on caregiving and well published. I responded, though Mom has passed,

because the aftermath is really still part of the caregiving.

I am sure there are some of you with special stories to tell. I believe

that the more we put out there, the sooner help will arrive. So, if you

are interested, go to the link provided below and sign up.

Thanks.
