Help for a difficult time

This book would have been helpful for me in working through two bouts with cancer. In the privacy of my own home I was able to read the various scenarios and think about ways to continue dealing with my children and the dreaded disease. I recommend this book to any family having to cope with cancer and its devastating affect on all concerned.

A must read for anyone who knows someone

Though blessed with not having any of my immediate family stricken with such a horrible disease, I frequently find myself hearing of a friend or someone diagnosed with some form of cancer (non of us seem immune to such tragedy). Aside from initial sorrow of the news, I often find myself asking; does the person have children and how are they accepting the news? No one has ever supplied a warm and fuzzy answer to this question. Lost for words, I find myself referring this timely book over and over again. The author's personal experience and efforts to obtain multiple essays from others who have faced such hurdles, will provid enough encouragement to help those most important in our lives. Our children!If you are not motivated to read this yourself, send it to someone or anyone in need.
