keeping in touch
Hi,
It's great that the mom to be has a supportive network where she is currently living.
Technology is a way to keep in touch which is very effective and can be a great support. My parents are in their 80's. My mom was always a great letter writer and she could fit more news on a postcard than anyone else I know! A couple of years ago, I encouraged her to check out email but she was intimidated by computers. She did purchase WebTV and we keep in touch every day via email. Now, she says she wishes all her friends had it so she could keep in touch with them too.
So, keeping in touch is really important whether by phone, email, regular mail and of course with visits when possible. Moral and emotional support can make so much difference to people - feeling connected to people who care helps so much.
I'd love to hear suggestions from others too.
