What is CaringBridge?
Many people like to write or blog during hard times and difficult health events. Writing is not only therapeutic, it’s a great way to keep all of your friends and family updated without having to make a lot of phone calls or go over the details of each event with every person. CaringBridge is a free patient website where you can set up a personalized page and post health updates to share with your friends and family. In addition, your friends and family can share their support by leaving messages in the guest book for the patient.
CaringBridge is a nonprofit organization that relies on individual donors to fund it’s operations. User information is not sold, there are no ads on the CaringBridge website and they use this approach to stay true to their mission while protecting user’s personal data.
How CaringBridge has impacted me
I was introduced to the CaringBridge website during the Summer of 2012. A dear family friend was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. As you can imagine, friends and family were all worried. We all wanted to be connected to her, know every update, how it was discovered and stay connected with her in a way to show our support.
While it’s unfortunate to learn about such wonderful companies like CaringBridge at such a hard time, it was truly inspiring to have everyone come together and offer their support for our dear friend during her treatments. It’s moments like those that help difficult health journeys become a little easier.

What if you’re still going through the phases of accepting…. What if you’re not sure you want to tell friends or family…don’t want to worry them ? What if you’re not sure you want the extra attention…. yet you get so upset because you found out during a time of great decision making, (middle of packing your house, kids and furry family.. to move andddd whether to fix a car that you have had for 11 yrs or let it junk to get new one) but all I seem to get from friends is that I’m taking too long… ahhhh guess this would be a good first blog! LOL
I have used Caring Bridge before for updates on a special little boy. This is such a wonderful way to help families communicate with others in difficult times.
I love the idea of this, it just warms my heart. With a parent that is getting up there in years the concept of this is wonderful.
I think this is a great idea. Writing about these things will surely help someone in this situation and family who wants to stay connected and in the know.
this is a wonderful concept – I’ll have to keep it in mind – so often it’s so much easier to express feelings remotely
Sounds wonderful, I’ll tell my aunt who’s an RN about this! I’m sure she’ll be interested in passing the word around.
I like CaringBridge – I’ve gotten updates on several people who I know well enough to be concerned about but not well enough to be involved with their family communications – it’s perfect for that situation!
I am happy to hear there are sites like caring bridge to help people through their difficult times. I would definitely use it and recommend to others. Thanks so much for sharing this.
