Natasha Josefowitz

I was incredibly blessed, to have been Natasha´s " helper" for the year, when she injured her back. I am an interior designer for many years in SanDiego, and we had much in common! She was incredibly wise, and had much to share. I will ALWAYS miss her. Incredible woman and human being. With much love, Jackie Dampier

My sincerest sympathies to Dr. Josefowitz´s family! I am grateful for her book Living Without the One You Cannot Live Without,
It did give me comfort and still does after the loss of my beloved husband of 58 years.
I hope this book will be put back in print as it is a valuable grief help reading!

I have just learned of Natasha´s passing. I was one of the lucky ones, to have been her companion for a year, at White Sands. A most inspiring, intelligent, talented, compassionate, driven, loyal, and tender hearted soul. You made a tremendous impact on me, that year, sweet Natasha. You are so missed , by so many.... Deep condolences to your family .

Hello ! My Name is Stephanie BARRETT
i Was Natasha Josefowitz waitress at white sands of la jolla for a few year's before I left white sands in 2012 . I loved being her waitress when she would have guest at her tables like the residents or some of her friends or family there to visit her. I will miss her smile and her wonderful hugs too. she was the most loving person ever. Mrs Josefowitz you will be missed by everyone who knew you and was your waitress and waiter at white sands. Thank you so much for letting me be your waitress while i was there . you are truly a blessing to each and everyone of us. God blessed you and your family .

I watched Natasha's video where she read her poems and wished I had the pleasure of knowing her while alive. But I now have the blessing of knowing about her legacy. May we continue her humor and legacy in her memory for years to come. Heaven just received their newest angel!

I lead a grief support group . Natasha´s book, Living Without the One You Can´t Live Without is the best book on dealing with grief I have ever seen. In fact I have given this book to several friends as gifts. I went online last night to buy a copy to give away and was disappointed to find the book is no longer in print. Natasha was a master at just " telling it like it is".

Natasha and her column in the La Jolla Village News will be sorely missed. I have enjoyed reading her perspective on aging which I have found inspiring because she shared her personal experiences and her vulnerabilities of each stage of her life. My condolences to the family. Warmly, Charlotte a La Jolla neighbor

Did not know Natasha well but she was always kind
thoughtful and full of good cheer
May she rest in Peace

I want to express my gratitude for Dr Josefowitz's fine and often thought-provoking column in the local San Diego Community Newspapers. She articulated important and insightful issues about aging that are often ignored and rarely written about, especially by someone who is facing those issues. Perhaps there will be a collection of some of the best columns made into yet another one of her books so that her wisdom may be shared with a wider audience. My sympathies to her family and loved ones.

She was an incredible woman in every way. We will certainly miss her local writings with all the wisdom, humor and insight.

Dear Natasha... so mNy, many fond memories during the 40 years we werd friends... I feel fortunate to have been there when you were developing your career, got married, family sadness...a life well lived and shared with so many others.... Ii will visit your grave and puf a stone on it when I make my monthly visits .... hope you are in the Jewish area- we are gilling it up! love and blessings Dr Diana Pickett

Natasha was an inspiration to so many; admired by all who knew her. She will be missed but her legacy lives on.

Natasha was an amazing woman who most certainly had quite an impact on many. I had the good fortune of assisting Herman and her move into The White Sands where she was greatly welcomed. Her articles in The Village News were very honest and insightful. I will miss them. My thoughts are with her family.

We, CS & Sue Yang, have been inspired by Natasha's spirit, knowledge kindness, and philosophy of life. In our first visit to White Sands in November 2021, we had the pleasure of visiting Natasha's beautiful apartment overlooking the ocean. We were impressed with her achievements and sincerity. We learned a great deal reading the book she wrote and gave us on "Retirement-the Next Great Adventure. "

After moving to White Sands in December 2022, we were even more impressed with Natasha's genuine friendliness, encouragement and support to us to form the Food/Nutrition Information Committee. She not only became an active member, but also offered to host our committee meetings in her apartment. Natasha gave us great encouragement by saying, "Your willingness to share your knowledge of food and nutrition with the White Sands community is truly meaningful and will benefit many people." Natasha has done so much to encourage residents to build a better and more responsive community in the 20 years she has lived here.

Natasha, may you rest in peace. We will miss you and never forget you.

Warm regards,
CS & Sue Yang
