I began my support journey with Crossroads4Hope with the online Caregiver Support Group, my husband was diagnosed with a terminal cancer and thankfully outlived the doctor’s expectations but had to endure so much in the hopes of just more time, in which he did so valiantly. There I met Kyle, the facilitator, and people that were caregivers due their situations. The openness of the group helped me realize, although our journeys were different, I was not alone and that these changes to our lives and behaviors happened in a variety of ways to all of us. I used things that were spoken about in group to help me comprehend moments and stay strong for my love.
My husband passed away two and a half years after his diagnosis and my world crumbled down around me, he was gone, and I was no longer whole. I, of course, reached out to Kyle, knowing I needed someone to help me deal properly with all my feelings and now knew I needed someone to help me survive. Since then, I occasionally attend an online grief support group and have one on one sessions with Kyle. I would not know where I would be without the dear support of Kyle, he is truly a blessing in my life. He guides me through dark days, some sessions of nonstop tears and rambling – he listens, he has me look inside myself, he guides me, he shares his knowledge and counseling expertise - he cares!
I don’t know how I would do this alone or where I would be without the support of Kyle from Crossroads4Hope. Thank goodness for Crossroads4Hope being there to support us in many ways through cancer's life altering journeys."
