A support group for gals who are living with and caring for their husband who is suffering from depression and/or mental illness. The purpose of the group is to offer support and encouragement to women along the way. This is a place to share strategies, good reading, ideas, and hopeful solutions to assist those who are living with depression. We can also explore how this illness affects family life, social life and church life.
The name refers to Christian women who are willing to stand up and be strong for their man, and to steadfastly care for him, even tho he is sick. It is a support group for Christian women who have made a vow on their wedding day "in sickness and in health" and with time they find they are being called on to make good on that promise to stand with him in sickness. It is a support group for Christian women who are determined to stand strong, even tho their husband is so sick and so unable to be the provider and protector that he would like to be.
This group will be predominantly Christian and Christian thought, prayer and scripture is encouraged and expected.
