2   Link   Fifty and Furthermore
As a psychologist and former spousal caregiver, Dr. Dorree Lynn has almost four decades of experience listening to people's stories, journeying with my clients through job changes, marriages, divorces, illnesses, births, and deaths.

As the title suggests, the site is aimed at those who are 50 or older. When Dr. Lynn addressed the WSA's 2007 Annual Conference in Pittsburgh, PA, she showed us that she knows what it's like to care for one's husband, wife or partner.

Did You Know . . .

Note: For 21 years an annual supporting membership, including a subscription to Mainstay and other benefits was $25.  Recently, the WSA Board voted to raise that cost by $5 to $30 in the U.S. and $35 elsewhere in North America. Overseas, Mainstay will only be available elecronically, in the members' area. Had we kept up to inflation the cost today would be $43.50. 

is the only national organization focusing exclusively on the needs of all spouses caring for a chronically ill and/or disabled husband, wife, or partner.  Let others in the Well Spouse Association who have “been there and done that” help you face the challenges of long-term caregiving.
