Loving Someone with Cancer

Description

This book offers honest advice from patients on how best to support loved ones who are going through cancer.

Coming alongside someone with cancer is never a perfect process—like the disease itself, it can be unpredictable, messy, and intimidating. This valuable resource features contributions from thirty-six current or former cancer patients who share candid and heartfelt insights on how you can best be there for your loved one in their time of need, including…

• understanding the power of simply showing up
• giving yourself and your loved one extra grace
• remembering that no two cancer journeys look the same
• digging deeper than simply asking, “How are you doing?”
• avoiding clichés and empty platitudes

Loving Someone with Cancer will encourage and equip you to support, hold space, grieve, and love with greater compassion, knowledge, confidence, and creativity.
