Caregivers Anonymous: Partners & Family of Brain Tumor/TBI

About the Group:
This group is for spouses, partners, and close family caregivers who are carrying medical responsibility, emotional exhaustion, anticipatory grief, and the fear of what’s coming next.

Caring for someone with a brain tumor, brain injury, or long-term neurological illness can feel like living in two worlds — one where you love deeply, and another where you quietly disappear behind your caregiving role.

Caregivers Anonymous is a space to step back into the light for a little while. It’s part support group, part social circle, and all heart.

Whether you need to talk, laugh, cry, or just be around people who get it, you’re welcome here.
Sometimes we’ll meet to share stories and decompress. Other times, we’ll simply go out — grab coffee, take a walk, listen to live music, or just breathe.

You don’t have to explain yourself here. You don’t have to be strong all the time. You just have to show up.

Our Mission

To bring together caregivers navigating life after brain cancer, TBI, or neurological decline — especially spouses, partners, and close family — and to remind each other that life still holds laughter, friendship, and meaning even in the hardest seasons.

We aim to:

Offer a judgment-free space to talk openly about caregiving, love, loss, and burnout.

Encourage self-care and shared joy through casual social outings.

Build connection and reduce the isolation that so many caregivers quietly live with.

Meeting Format

Each gathering has two simple goals: to connect and to breathe.

Support Nights: A safe circle to talk, vent, share, and listen.

Step-Away Nights: A chance to do something fun — dinner, a short hike, trivia, a movie night, coffee in town.

You’re free to join whichever you need that week.

Group Guidelines

Confidentiality — what’s said here stays here.

No fixing, no judgment — everyone’s journey is unique.

Presence matters — sometimes silence, laughter, or simply showing up is enough.

Care for the caregiver — this group is about you, not medical problem-solving for your loved one.

Who Should Join

Spouses, partners, parents, or family members caring for someone with a brain tumor, brain injury, or chronic neurological condition.

Those navigating long-term caregiving, emotional fatigue, or anticipatory grief.

Anyone who could use a safe place to talk — or a reason to get out for an hour.
