Book DescriptionWhen we hear that someone close to us has been diagnosed with cancer, we want nothing more than to comfort them with words of hope, support, and love But sometimes we dont know what to say or do, and dont feel comfortable asking With sensitive insights and thoughtful anecdotes, HELP ME LIVE provides a personal yet thoroughly researched овьни account of words and actions that are most helpful Based on the authors own experiences with cancer, as well as interviews and surveyswith many others who have had this disease, each chapter tells intimate stories about one of the 20 most important messages people with cancer want to convey, such as "I need to forgetand laugh," "Asking my permission can spare me pain," "I want you to understand if I dont call you back or see you," and "I want compassion, not pity; comfort, not advice " Youll learn that communicating effectively doesnt necessarily mean theres a "right thing" to say or do, but that you can achieve the desired result: to make those who are ill feel better In candid and beautifully detailed prose, HELP ME LIVE will help you find the words or gestures to show how much you care.  Leuchte2005 г 258 стр ISBN 1587612127.
