Help Me Live: 20 Things People with Cancer Want You to Know     > website
BK
When 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 don’t know what to say or do, and don’t feel comfortable asking. With sensitive insights and thoughtful anecdotes, HELP ME LIVE provides a personal yet thoroughly researched account of words and actions that are most helpful. Based on the author’s own experiences with cancer, as well as interviews and surveys with 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 forget—and laugh," "Asking my permission can spare me pain," "I want you to understand if I don’t call you back or see you," and "I want compassion, not pity; comfort, not advice." You’ll learn that communicating effectively doesn’t necessarily mean there’s 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.

Shot in the Head: A Sister’s Memoir, A Brother’s Struggle     > website
BK
A bittersweet memoir about life and loss. This true story brings to life the experiences of one large family before and after the onset of mental illness. Using a mix of narrative, photographs, emails and pictures of various cherished objects, the book takes the reader into author Katherine Flannery Dering's world of caring for her younger brother Paul, who suffered from schizophrenia. When her brother developed lung cancer, the author had to step up to help in his care. Maneuvering through the maze of our mental health system, she (and her eight siblings) got to know social workers and the employees of nursing homes on a first name basis, saw friends and family less often, missed work, and ate fewer meals at home and more fast food. Along the way, she changed in unforeseen ways, and her perception of her ill brother, Paul, changed as well. For more information please visit http://www.shotintheheadbook.com
Through My Eyes     > website

Back in 2002 when I was told that I would possibly lose my sight to wet macular degeneration I was devastated. The central vision allows you to sew, to read books and newspapers, watch TV and see familiar faces. What a tragedy that this most precious gift might be taken from me... We've been fortunate enough to have traveled a bit since our retirement and those wonderful memories are sealed in many photos. In fact, those photos mean so much to me that I want to share a sampling of them with you, along with some of my poetry and prose. I have no agenda with this book, except to bring joy and maybe a smile to anyone who lifts the cover and turns each page. Joy is reaching out to touch you if you will but open your heart and your eyes.
