A guide for mothers who are dealing with an illness (not necessarily cancer)—the author had a life-threatening heart condition. Provides tips for coping—easy dinners to make, asking for help with carpools, things friends can bring to the hospital.

Part 1: Discusses the shock of the diagnosis, adjusting to the news, emotional aspects of illness, how to ask for help, adjusting your standards, dealing with doctors, waiting for tests

Part 2: Deals with how illness affects children, talking to kids, warning signs that illness is troubling children, conversations about death

Part 3: Discusses how illness affects relationships with fathers, grandmothers, girlfriends. Also talks about work and relationship (or not) with God

Part 4: How illness affects the future—things you can learn from illness and things you can teach the world.

Abstract

"The Tool Kit includes:

1) A booklet, which begins with a Self-Test that will help you decide where you want to focus. You might start by taking the Self-Test and then scoring it. Your scores will suggest places to start. It also contains Tip Sheets about specific topics that others have found key in managing their conditions, and illustrations to accompany the exercise audio program.

2) The latest edition of Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions written by experts in the field. Even more important?all the authors have chronic conditions.

3) A relaxation audio program with four different relaxation exercises. The first is only five minutes, for a quick start, and the others are about 15 minutes each.

4) An exercise audio program with three different levels of exercises, all of which can be done at home. If you have not exercised much lately you might want to start with the first level and work your way up. Of course, some of you will want to start at the third level.

We suggest that you spend a couple of hours a week learning and practicing the new skills. There is no right or wrong, so explore to find what works for you to manage better." --publisher
