Lotsa Helping Hands

The Well Spouse™ Association links to a special page, in Lotsa Helping Hands, here.
What Can I Do To Help? - Lotsa Helping Hands enables you to set up a private group calendar, specifically designed for organizing helpers, where everyone - friends, family, colleagues and neighbors - can pitch in with meal delivery, rides, and other tasks necessary for life to run smoothly during a crisis.

Information is kept private to yourself and your invitees only. They are notified of your updates by e-mail and must then click on a link in the private e-mail and log in to go to the site to read the latest news.

A feature of the partnership with WSA is that you and your invited visitors will also see the WSA logo on your pages, and can click on it to go to the WSA site.

The Well Spouse™ Association has partnered with Interregnum, a non-profit grief support organization based in New Jersey, where our office is located.  Interregnum assists individuals in navigating grief - both final and anticipatory.  A non-profit organization with many similarities to our own, Interregnum has compiled a book: "Moving Forward Stories of Courage and Strength" -written by and for their members. 

This book is a wonderful read which offers readers a glimpse into the hearts of people whose lives have been changed irrevocably by loss.  It includes personal stories, artwork and poetry.  "For those who feel 'living' will never begin again this book offers possibilities, for those who feel grief's journey will never end, this book offers hope."

 -- Judith A. Pedersen, MSW, LSW, FT, Founder and Executive Director, Interregnum Inc, Finding life after loss.
