Timeless message of Joel Kime’s book even more relevant today BY JEFF FALK
Members of the Lancaster chapter of Well Spouse Association meet at Wegmans.
Well Spouse explores the nature of caregiving BY JEFF FALK
“This is a way to talk to people who know what we’re going through.” Wednesdays of every month. The support group for spouses who are taking care of significant others meets via Zoom on the second Wednesday and at Wegmans, 2000 Crossings Blvd., Lancaster, on the fourth Wednesday. There is a yearly membership fee associated with joining the group.
“Every person’s situation is different,” said Applebaum, a 66-year-old resident of East Lampeter Township. “Our spouses are sick and can’t get out, so the Zoom meeting is convenient. Some people don’t want their spouses to know they’re doing this. It can be threatening. For most of us, the reality is our spouses are (present in this world), but they’re very different. We have to transport them, and some can’t talk well.” Since its inception about nine years ago, the Lancaster branch of Well Spouse Association has had a membership fluctuating between three and eight spousal caregivers. The members are caring for spouses who have had strokes, cancer, traumatic brain injuries, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and muscular dystrophy.

roviding care for incapacitated wives and husbands is a huge commitment and an even bigger undertaking. The act can be physically, mentally and emotionally taxing. But who cares for the caregiver? Oftentimes, that responsibility falls to the caregivers themselves. Well Spouse Association is a support group that recognizes that caregiving husbands and wives are more effective when they are healthy. “This is our therapy,” said Barry Applebaum, the founder of the Lancaster chapter of Well Spouse Association. “This is our respite. This is a way to talk to people who know what we’re going through. Sometimes it’s for the friendships that we make.” “When you become a spousal caregiver, it’s uniquely different,”
continued Applebaum. “It has unique challenges. That person was someone you communicated with. ... But it’s not the same person. You learn to love and care in a different way.” The Lancaster branch of Well Spouse Association meets at 7 p.m. on the second and fourth
Our relationships with God can be personal and private. But they don’t have to be solitary; they can also be collective in both nature and scope. Joel Kime’s new book explores those extra-worldly relationships and the impacts that togetherness has on them. “The book asks the question, ‘ What kind of togetherness produces f lourishing?’” said Kime. “In American society, we’ve long had this emphasis on individualism. Individualism has its good sides, but it also has its dark sides, and it’s also affected theology. We as individuals can have an individual relationship with God. But we can also work together to produce flourishing in our society. There are principles to help guide us that are so
