About 26 Points Of Light: Illuminating One Cancer
Product Description If you or a loved one has been impacted by a critical diagnosis, this book will help you embrace hope and keep cancer remission in your prayers as you face the journey ahead. When a self-diagnosed shoulder injury turned out to be stage 4 lymphoma, Maureen O'Brien was reeling—and she wasn't alone. Her entire community had to grapple with this devastating cancer diagnosis. But how should they reach out, and what could they do to help? When someone you know faces a critical diagnosis, it's difficult to understand what's expected of you. Reaching out can feel intrusive and uncomfortable, but simply offering prayer for a cancer patient can feel insufficient. And if you're the one receiving the news, asking your support system for help is its own struggle. In 26 Points of Light, supporters across O'Brien's community of care—family, friends, coworkers, extended family, and even medical staff—offer their unique experiences of the journey they walked with Maureen and share the knowledge and inspiration they gained along the way. You'll learn: How each caregiver was uniquely impacted by the diagnosis Why the nurse–patient relationship is so important to anyone undergoing recovery How to "quarterback" a loved one's caregiving team Why true belief in cancer remission is crucial for both patient and support system Why whatever you have to give is exactly the right thing to offer With its multitude of voices and perspectives, 26 Points of Light is a cancer caregiver book like no other. If someone you love has received an unexpected diagnosis, this book will help you deliver constant, crucial encouragement. And for those experiencing it firsthand, it will illuminate their true impact on others and remind them that they are not alone.
