How Are You COPING?
Coping: The Many Faces of Love and Care
A must-read book for people facing caregiving.
Travel through the depth of loneliness, the moments of consternation with tenderness and the grace of caregiving throughout the pages of Coping. Anger and stress, plus care and concern are the realities, leading to courage and insight. Life is enriched for both caregivers and their loved ones.
Coping is not a conventional “how to” guide with medical insight. Instead, it astonishes readers with its vivid portrayal of human kindness amidst tears and unexpected laughter.
Coping is a book of true stories about a diverse group of people where caring and conflict collide. It’s about difficult decisions and unexpected surprises. The book is short, practical, and hopeful.
Life is enriched by these caregivers and their loved ones. The book is a must read, while muddling through the mist.
When I saw the need for a book about the emotional impact of caring for loved ones, I decided to write about the caregivers. The true stories about people who rode the path of sadness and stress offers an opportunity for readers to understand themselves and others better. It took almost two years to write Coping: The Many Faces of Love and Care. I changed names and locations to respect privacy, my own included.

The Plan for Writing Coping
- Different backgrounds, locations, illnesses, and ethnicities about loved ones.
- Each story (chapter) short enough to read quickly. Can be read while waiting for a loved one in the reception area at the doctor’s office, or when the mom is napping.
- Privacy, personalities and honesty are important in each story
- Research locations to maintain the veracity of streets, the towns, the story line, for the integrity of true stories.
- Reader introspection expectation in every chapter. Think how your story is alike and different from the book. Know you are not alone.
