How to cope with the terminal diagnosis of a loved one

Caring for a loved one with cancer can be an overwhelming experience; especially when given no hope of a cure. There are so many unanswered questions; when will it happen, how will it happen, will there be much pain? 

How will I cope, who can I talk to, who will be there to help me?  Does anyone understand how I am feeling?

 

At last there is a book available that relates to everything you are feeling

 

 

 

'Lean on Me' - Cancer through a Carer's Eyes; a book written by Lorraine Kember is a moving true account of her 'emotional journey' as she cares for her terminally ill husband Brian; who as a result of inhaling deadly asbestos dust as a child, was diagnosed with the asbestos related cancer, pleural mesothelioma at the age of 52.

                   

He was only a child when it begun - and he played as children do

In his yard with his toy cars and tip trucks

His 'sand' was 'asbestos blue'...

 

Lorraine's determination to ease Brian's burden, resulted in him surviving long after his 3 to 9 month prognosis and able to attain a quality of life few had thought possible.

 

Read about the methods and tools Lorraine used to control Brian's pain and symptoms and how she was able to greatly improve the quality of his life. 

 

Uniquely combining both the physical and emotional impact of caring for a loved one with cancer, 'Lean on Me' is truly an inspirational book,  and a  'must read' for anyone who is caring for a loved one with mesothelioma or cancer of any kind. 

 

Highly recommended by Cancer Councils and Palliative Care Organizations world wide. Click here to read an excellent review.

 

'Lean on Me' is not just a book about cancer. It is a beautiful love story and a valuable guide to Carer's wrapped into one.

Readers Letter 

Dear Lorraine. It is hard watching your partner in life slowly deteriorating before your eyes! I still read your book as I feel it’s the only link I have with someone else who understands what I am going though.  I haven’s seen anything like your book anywhere, to people like me it is a shining beacon in a vast ocean.  I don’t know how many people have requested your book Lorraine all told, but I know I am just one of those numbers who will always be grateful for your deciding to write it all down, pouring out your heart and your feelings which must have been hard, but gratifying, probably not knowing how that courage and determination would eventually be a lifeline to many others like me.  You are still my place in the dark I can go to, knowing you will understand every feeling or thought I might have.  Thank you Lorraine, Love Cheryl
