How can I help but not get in the way? How do I let my loved ones know what I need?\nThe Etiquette of Illness is a wise, encouraging, and essential guide to navigating the complex terrain of illness. This collection of anecdotes and insights will help those who feel awkward and unsure about responding to a friend, colleague, or relative who is suffering. The book is also for people who are ill and want to engage with their loved ones effectively. We read about a range of people who are dealing with chronic illness, doctor-patient communications, and end-of-life issues-and who are striving to find their way with awareness and compassion.\nDrawing on her years of counseling people with serious illness, as well as her own experiences with cancer, Susan Halpern presents an insightful book of the utmost relevance for patients, their caregivers, and their family and friends - a group which will, at some point, include all of us.\nSusan P. Halpern is a social worker and psychotherapist. She is the founder of the New York Cancer Help Program and a staff associate at the Commonweal Cancer Help Program. She lives with her husband, near their children and grandchildren in Berkeley, California. This is her first book.\nThe Etiquette of Illness is a finalist for the Books for a Better Life award.\nThe Etiquette of Illness is an An Amazon \"Editor's Pick\" for Best Book of the Year (2004).\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1582343837\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKGU900DPRP_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Susan P.
