Two Other Books to Recommend

I highly recommend these two books.  They will create openings for you:

The Last Best Cure, by Donna Jackson Nakazawa

Here's a bit about the book:

One day Donna Jackson Nakazawa found herself lying on the floor to recover from climbing the stairs. That’s when it hit her. She was managing the symptoms of the autoimmune disorders that had plagued her for a decade, but she had lost her joy. For years, she’d been living on what she’d come to think of as the “Pain Channel.” She wanted to tune into the “Life Channel” instead. As a wife and mother of two, she was determined to get her life back. As a science journalist, she was compelled to understand why her brain might be her last best cure.

How To Be A Friend To A Friend Who's Sick, by Letty Cottin Pogrebin

Here's praise for her book:

"How to be a Friend to a Friend Who's Sick gives us excellent tools and moving experiences to love and nurture the sick and dying.  It urges and enables us to move towards those in need rather than fleeing in terror or despair.  it is a handbook of kindness and care and will help patients and healers, which is ultimately all of us."
-- Eve Ensler, playwright and activist
