Helene Powers presents Friends Indeed: How to Help During a Serious Illness Oct. 7 at 7 pm
10/07/2009 7:00 pm
"It is not easy to ask for, or to accept, help, even when one's family is faced with a serious medical condition. But the day I almost walked out the door to work wearing just a slip and a turtleneck, I finally had to admit I couldn't do it all alone."
Friends Indeed is partly a memoir, partly a practical guide to providing hands-on help for anyone caring for a seriously ill person. In this short booklet, Helene Powers speaks warmly and poignantly about the last year of her husband Adam's life, and the help she received from a group called The Krewe, who provided a steady stream of meals, fixed a garage door, and generally supplied practical and emotional support during a time when the day-to-day details of life became overwhelming. This useful booklet provides guidelines, tips, and helpful online resources for anyone seeking to help a caregiver.
