Our story: holding space through dialysis
At Holding Space Through Dialysis, our journey began with a deeply personal experience. As a wife and mother witnessing the profound impact of dialysis on my husband and family, I realized the urgent need for emotional support for caregivers. This is a space born from lived experience, empathy, and love, dedicated to ensuring no caregiver feels unseen, unheard, or alone on this challenging path.
A journey from lived experience
I am a wife and a mother of three, and my husband is currently on dialysis. Watching him struggle physically, emotionally, and mentally has been one of the most challenging experiences of my life. I’ve seen firsthand how isolating, overwhelming, and exhausting it can be for both the patient and the family. Through this journey, I realized how vital emotional support is—not just for patients, but for the caregivers who often feel unseen, unheard, or alone. I created Holding Space Through Dialysis to provide a safe, compassionate, and understanding space for families walking this difficult path. My goal is to help caregivers process their emotions, feel supported, and find hope and strength, just as I wish someone had been there for me when I needed it most.
How we hold space for you
Unlike general counseling or medical support, our approach comes directly from lived experience. We help caregivers feel truly seen, heard, and emotionally supported by offering a space where your feelings are fully acknowledged without judgment. This looks like active listening, validating the emotional rollercoaster of caregiving—guilt, anxiety, anger, and grief are all recognized as real and okay—and offering gentle guidance, practical tips, and encouragement that come from personal understanding. We provide consistent check-ins and compassionate companionship, ensuring you have a steady space to offload and process emotions. It’s not about fixing problems—it’s about creating a space where you are fully seen, fully heard, and fully supported.
Who we connect with
The caregivers who benefit most from our support are spouses, partners, and family members of dialysis patients who are feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or emotionally drained. We are hoping to connect with caregivers who feel alone or unseen in their journey, need a safe, understanding space to process their emotions, and are seeking compassionate guidance and practical support from someone who truly understands. Our goal is to support caregivers before they reach burnout, helping them feel heard, validated, and strengthened so they can continue to care for their loved ones without losing themselves in the process.
"Feeling truly seen, heard, and understood has made all the difference. Holding Space Through Dialysis provided the compassion and understanding I desperately needed on this challenging journey."
