Our group is what support is all about and I hope others will add to your topic. It’s the baby steps that get us to where we need to be and we have a lot of experience with it here! I’m happy to read that we are able to provide some support to you!
On asking your husband to join, of course I personally think it’s a really good decision as he will have access to others who have ruptured. We also have numerous members who’ve experienced TBI’s and those who had an incidental finding with either a repair or put on the watch and wait list. We can help to support him. The only thing I can see giving him hesitation would be venting and not wanting to hurt your feelings. Please have a conversation with him setting ground rules that either of you are allowed to say what you want here and not have an argument about it off line. You both need a safe place to vent or ask questions.
Should he not want to be a member here, it’s ok. Depending where you reside in PA, there’s probably a support group. He may want to try with UPMC. And there’s the Joe Niekro Foundation out in AZ that has support groups online, I believe, not to mention the wonderful cousins at The Bee Foundation has virtual support groups found here TBF Brain Aneurysm Support Hive - The Bee Foundation
You both may want to look at the calendar here under the BAF section as Martha is always posting online support groups meetings as well. Hopefully something will spark his interest. Some of our members are also members with other online support groups. We really need all the support we can access don’t we? I don’t do FB, but there are many there as well, I understand from BH who does have an FB account😂. With any group, I would suggest if you feel you’re not receiving the support you need, or the others aren’t helping but hurting, reach out to the Moderators of that group. Try to keep chaos and drama to a minimum if possible.
