Everyone knows someone who's sick or suffering. Yet when a friend
or relative is under duress many of us feel uncertain about how to
cope.
Throughout her recent bout with breast cancer, Letty Cottin
Pogrebin became fascinated by her friends' and family's diverse
reactions to her and her illness: how awkwardly some of them
behaved; how some misspoke or misinterpreted her needs; and how
wonderful it was when people read her right. She began talking to
her fellow patients and dozens of other veterans of serious
illness, seeking to discover what sick people wished their friends
knew about how best to comfort, help, and even simply talk to them.
Now Pogrebin has distilled their collective stories and opinions
into this wide-ranging compendium of pragmatic guidance and usable
wisdom. Her advice is always infused with sensitivity, warmth, and
humor. It is embedded in candid stories from her own and others'
journeys, and their sometimes imperfect interactions with
well-meaning friends. "How to Be a Friend to a Friend Who's Sick"
is an invaluable guidebook for anyone hoping to rise to the
challenges of this most important and demanding passage of
friendship.
