I have written a book about helping to support someone with a fatal diagnosis. Although this is not about an illness that has to be fatal, I can see the similarities. But, I must say that what I wrote is crap compared to what Roger Ragan wrote. (Perhaps if it had been MY book it would have been equal to this one!) The book I wrote was for someone else and I was the ghost writer simply following the outline supplied by the client. It had good information but it was full of added fluff that really did not need to be included...just for length I suppose. This is why I loved this book. There was zero fluff and the information is right to the point. When someone you love is going through something as bad as this, you do not want to read through a ton of information that is - well- unhelpful, just to get to the meat and potatoes of the things you really need to know. This is what Ragan did- skipped the fluff and got right to the heart of the matter. As someone with a friend that has breast cancer, cut and dry information like this was greatly appreciated. I got the advice I needed without having to waste time on the non-essentials. Bravo Mr. Ragan!
