Support Groups 101

A downside of support groups is the possibliity that other peoplein the group may experience an unexpected decline in their health or die.

If this happens, keep in mind that what happens to any particular individual does not indicate what will happen to you. Just as statistics do not apply to any particular individual, neither does what happens to another person, or even a group of people. We are each as individual as a snow flake.
