    You must have been here to have posted your question.

    I’ve found the easiest way is to click on the three horizontal lines at the top left of the app when you open it. Select discussions, then select support someone living with dementia, then select which one of the four discussion forums you want: general, spouse, parent, long distance. Then you can click on a topic to see the posts

    Lorita, I just posted about you. On this same board, scroll down until you see Friends 190 that you started before the transition. Go to the bottom of the page 3, it will say "leave a comment". Try this.

    Loita, if you are on the home page, go to "view discussions for caregivers" box down a bit on the page.

    It will take you to a new page. There you will be a box down a bit on the page called "caring for spouse or partner".

    Hope this helps.

    PS if you are on a discussion thread, scroll down and see the column on the right of the screen...you should find "Supporting someone living with dementia"...under that is "caring for a spouse or partner"...click that.

    Or you can hover your mouse pointer over "discussions" at the top of this page. You will then get a drop down box of options.
