    Hi Bethanan, welcome to the community. Yes this is a place where people can get and give support, and I'm sure you'll find many in the community with similar experiences to you. You might also like to post a question to our expert benefits advisors thread if you need help in that regard, and you can see all the other discussion categories here.
