Why Community Matters-And Why We're Here Together.

I wanted to share this article with you because it's proof of something many of us have felt in our bones:

Caregiving—including caring for family and people with disabilities—remains undervalued and unpaid.

The UN is finally addressing the issue on a global stage. But for us, this isn't just policy. It's our lives.

We didn't plan for caregiving. It started small. And now it's hours each week—managing medications, appointments, emotions, and challenging conversations. Often without thanks.Often without help. Often feeling very alone.

Loneliness is something caregivers often don't discuss enough. But it's real. It's a feeling like no one understands why you're always tired. It's grieving the changes in someone you love while pretending you're fine. It's losing touch with your own identity.

That's why this community exists. Not to fix everything. But to make sure no one has to sit in that loneliness alone.

When the world ignores unpaid caregiving, it becomes invisible work. But here? We see it. We name it. We hold space for it. Because caregiving isn't just a set of tasks, it's an emotional load. It's grief. It's love, it's life.

If you're here, it means you understand that. Or you want to understand it better. Or you're just too tired to keep doing it alone.

You're welcome here. You're seen here. You're not alone here.
