Many of us appreciated Mary Koch’s syndicated column “Journal of Healing” that looked at issues around being caregivers. After the recent death of her husband, John Andrist, Mary has begun a new web-based column addressing some of the issues arising at the loss of a spouse. The column is updated each Sunday. Mary, who lives in Omak and is a member of St. Anne’s, is a former editor of the “Inland Episcopalian.”
