Caring Bridge

I discovered that someone I had met online several years ago had quit her job (which is where I had known her from) due to cancer. Someone very helpfully pointed me toward her website, a website sponsored by Caring Bridge. I was able to post a get well message for Carol, and find out where she was in her treatment.

Caring Bridge offers "free, personalized websites that support and connect loved ones during critical illness, treatment and recovery."

According to the site, "CaringBridge® (www.caringbridge.org) is a free, nonprofit web service that connects family and friends to share information, love and support during a serious medical condition, treatment and recovery. It takes just a few moments for you to create your own personal and private CaringBridge website."

I noticed that Carol was able to post updates on her condition as well as photos. I thought it was a great way to keep in touch in folks, especially concerning her health.
