    • Caregivers and Spouses
      Inevitably, pulmonary fibrosis affects caregivers and spouses as much as the patients, and this group is a unique circle of support solely for them! Join to discuss the emotional, social and physical impact of caring for someone with PF/IPF and explore coping techniques from others sharing the same experience. Share your strategies, and enjoy the comfort and company of others who know exactly how you are feeling as a caregiver of someone living with PF/IPF.
