CaringMatters values the fact that the community depends on them for support and a caring presence every day as we face the challenges of illness, loss and grief together. During this unprecedented time of upheaval and uncertainty, they are still here for you, although in different ways. CaringMatters staff are available to offer phone support, online and community resources, as well as reading recommendations and other useful tools. Dealing with serious illness, the demands of caregiving, and grief can be isolating. As the entire community faces this pandemic and changes to our everyday lives, feelings of isolation can increase. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to CaringMatters for support and resources!
