Surviving Spouse

News for Surviving Spouses of ADA Members

For Alliance members who are spouses of the American Dental Association (ADA) members, Marilyn Woerner, the AADA surviving spouse chair, will contact you and send you a free packet of information that may include:
  • state laws
  • dental practice transition articles
  • information for getting temporary help in the office
  • a list of brokers who sell dental practices – these brokers are often aware of dentists that can temporarily help in the office
  • simple tax information
  • Great-West Estate Planner
  • a list of books that would be helpful during this time in life

Please get in touch with Marilyn and let her know you would like to receive the free packet. Or, if you know a surviving spouse, either recent or not so recent, who is a widow or widower of an ADA member, please pass this information along to Marilyn or Trish Rubik-Rothstein at the AADA central office.

TRAVELING CAN HELP HEAL THE WIDOWED
from Marilyn Woerner

Traveling can be a cure for some problems, but it cannot heal the pain from the loss of a spouse. However, with the support of family and friends, a widowed person can find solace in visiting new places. It is easy to stay inside and away from everyone, but that is unhealthy.

A widowed person who had traveled with their spouse may not have had to be concerned about money, luggage, or the travel itinerary. If the spouse did not wan to travel, the widowed person may be unsure how to start traveling. Several agencies have trips available for single people and will help guide a person through the process of the trip. For example:
