This is one of the reasons I created my Advocacy BC blog, to offer links and resources and create a page where social justice, child welfare and social policy issues are discussed and linked to pertinent media. Thanks for offering such a great place for people to get information and help. *Tracey* (http://advocacybc.blogspot.com) Hi Maureen, I couldn’t agree with you more that social workers can use blogging as a way of sharing their expertise, providing resources and using it in other ways.

Talking with individuals in Pastoral Care, I've come to understand that it is often difficult for mature adults whose children have left the home to adjust. They've spent a large portion of their marriage focusing on the children and may not know how to adjust to and enjoy each other in this new stage of their marriage. This has resulted in some of those who have been married for 30+ years astonishingly and seemingly out of nowhere getting divorces after their children leave the home. If your service doesn't do this already, perhaps an additional resource to help these parents cope with this new aspect of their lives and relationships might be a great addition. What a great thing this is.

Maureen Tillman, LCSW is clearly providing a needed and valuable service. I commend her for all of her efforts which obviously take a lot of commitment on her part. Keep up the good work Maureen! :o) E. A. Wahrburg, MSW, LCSW (NC, NY) I don’t see how anyone can react other than positively to this.
