How Are You COPING?

Coping:
The Many Faces of Love and Care

Front Book Cover of Coping: The Many Faces of Love and Care by Ruth Glover

I saw the need for this book. People around me are caregivers. Their lives are rarely easy, but they COPE. Personality plays a role, and reality reigns.

Read twelve different short stories about caregivers and a quick novella about a long-distance caregiver. Think about the man who runs away on his motorized vehicle. See how the neglected daughter cared for her mother with care and compassion.

The book cover shows that there is a rainbow, and you are not alone. How did they do it? Learn from their experiences. Look for the rainbows.

This book is not a medical book, but twelve true stories about men and women who cared about their relatives and friends with love and understanding.

Guest Writer Visits Portland, Oregon

I am honored that Sheldon Clay is our guest author. Sheldon and I have known each for years. Sheldon lives and works in Minneapolis. When I read his recent post, I asked if he would be willing to share this lovely piece with our Texas short story readers.

It is not my intention to feature or discuss views on political issues, but I believe you will enjoy his comments. The push and pull stories can knock us down when we concentrate on what is happening in our lives. Sheldon knows how to cheer us along our paths.

Sheldon’s talent helped Harley-Davidson with their advertisements. He wrote ads for Porsche to sell their products. Now he often writes ads for television and the internet. Not so long ago, he decided to write whatever he felt like writing in addition to his other endeavors. Plus, sometimes in his free time, he roars around on his motorcycle.

His short stories for Medium are always worthwhile. If you don’t know Medium, check it out. You might find more of his fascinating stories. I am grateful to know him and happy he is willing to share his talent with us.
