After I wrote my first book, Helping Through Heartache, some friends who had cancer asked me to write another book on how to help someone with a serious illness or chronic health condition.
|
|
They had also felt that people really wanted to help them, but weren't sure what to do or say. So this book is for the helpers - to walk you through how to help.

The cartoons in the book are intended to give voice to anyone who is dealing with a serious and/or chronic condition in a way that lightens a heavy topic but is still very real. The cartoons show us how our loved ones feel, what they need, and how we can help.

Even though this book is witten for the helpers, I was surprised to get feedback that the book is also helpful to Ailey Cats as they navigate their illness.
|
|
I never intended to be an author but both books seemed to want to be written. They are a labor of love and if they help even one person, it was worth it.

If you are wondering “how can I be helpful to a friend or loved one who is ill?” read this book. It is one of the most light-hearted - yet complete - guides available for walking with the people we love through tough times.
|
Helping Through Illness is such a useful and easy read! Each page of this concise handbook gives a practical tip on what one could do or say when they feel awkward about how they could genuinely help someone living with illness.
