I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for CaringBridge. I received product a promotional item to thank me for my participation.I’ve told you a few times how CaringBridge has helped me keep up with a few friends going through a rough health journey. I had two friends with cancer and one with a son who has seizures and other issues that he’s going through. They use CaringBridge to help journal their way through their journey and to help friends and family kept up to date as well. CaringBridge launched in 1997 so that people could start a free website, remain connected to their family and friends and receive support when they need it most. As a nonprofit and early form of social media, CaringBridge has been instrumental for millions in navigating an emotional journey. CaringBridge can make all the difference when facing the loneliness of a hospital stay, enduring a long recovery at home or coordinating day-to-day, hands-on help. A CaringBridge website simplifies communicating with loved ones; messages of love, support and encouragement come flooding in, allowing the focus to be on healing. Could someone in your life (family member, friend or neighbor) benefit from starting a CaringBridge website? Share this post with them and include a note of love, hope and compassion.

As a parent whose daughter had a health scare, I know how exhausting it can be to try and keep everyone in the loop. I can imagine what a relief this service is.

I have a dear friend who used CaringBridge when her m-i-l had cancer and it was a great way for us to stay connected and up-to-date with her progress. Sadly, she didn’t make it, but it was a comfort to her to be able to read the messages that family and friends sent her through CaringBridge.
