It was a blessing to the mother since her husband the father was active duty in Iraq when he was diagnosed and she was overwhelmed. It was an easy way to keep everyone informed without dozens of daily phone calls and a great resource for us to help them out. For example, the mother was determined to get her husband back from Iraq and mobilized every contact she had to make it happen. Also, there was information about her husband's unit, mailing address, etc. as well as suggestions when she wanted help with charity work. Their website is www.carepages.com -- I don't have a way to compare them with CaringBridge but they worked well for her.
