How Are You COPING?
Coping: The Many Faces of Love and Care
This is a must-read for people facing caregiving.
Ruth’s Latest Book
Travel through the depth of loneliness, the moments of consternation and the tenderness and grace of caregiving with the pages of Coping. Anger and stress, plus care and concern are the shadows on the uncharted mountains and peace when a rainbow appears.
Coping is not a conventional “how to” guide with medical insights: instead, it astonishes readers with its vivid portrayal of human kindness amidst tears and anger and unexpected laughter.
Coping is a book of true stories about a diverse group of people where caring and conflict may collide. It’s about difficult decisions and unexpected surprises. It is short, practical and hopeful.
Life is enriched by these caregivers: theirs and their loved ones. The book is a must-read, while muddling through the mist.
Feedback from Readers
Standing in line to attend an event last week, someone said to me, “You’re Ruth Glover aren’t you? I read your latest book. It was just what I needed. I was my husband’s caregiver when he had cancer. He’ll still need some more surgery.
I was grateful to learn about the stories in your book. It made me relax to know about those other situations.”
Made my day, as she found comfort.
I’ve joined some FaceBook groups for caregivers to hear their stories. I don’t advertise on the groups, but it helps me with my own struggles.
I suggest you join an online group to realize what others experience, especially if isolated. No wonder the confusion and irrational behavior of their loved ones that creates fatigue and better times to come.
Quote from Author Ruth Glover
“When I saw the need for a book about the emotional impact of caring for loved ones, I decided to write about caregivers. The true stories about people who rode the path of sadness and stress is an opportunity for readers to understand themselves and others better. It took almost two years to write Coping: The Love Many faces of Love and Care. I changed names and locations to respect privacy, my own included.”
Roving Ruth
I love the Southwest with its mountains in the West, the seaside in the South, the Red River towns to the North, and Louisiana on the border.
I write about the food, festivals, fun, and history. I write about small towns, but not always.
The small towns amaze me with the treasures in their museums, like the Czech Museum in La Grange or the new Rockport Center for the Art.
How about the replica of the boat named La Belle, wrecked in the bay in the 1820s when people tried to migrate to Palacious? Perhaps a story about a child selling trinkets by the side of the river in Big Bend. And often information about good food and drink to refresh our weary fast-paced lives.I will never run out of stories for you.
