Synopsis

When someone learns that they are seriously--even terminally ill, their first thought is, "Why me?" Dr. Ronna Jevne offers practical, sometimes humorous and always on-the-mark suggestions for moving beyond self-pity and towards feeling better. She'll help you look at the effects physical suffering and illness have on your body, mood, energy, emotions, spirit, loved ones and overall quality of life.

More importantly, Dr. Jevne provides solutions for assisting recovery, promoting a positive attitude, and honing one's coping skills. Everyone who faces a life-threatening illness or a chronic condition--as well as those who work or live with someone who is seriously ill--will find comfort and hope within these pages.
