The diagnosis of "cancer" is frightening enough for the patient. But the disease has a deep impact on the patient's partner and the couple's relationship as well. Life is not the same, and a new journey has begun. This book, drawing on the personal experience of the authors and many others, offers a compassionate guide for the journey. Those who find themselves on this most difficult road will learn how other couples have coped successfully. With the took kit offered on these pages, couples can do more than endure the ordeal; they can actually strengthen the bond between them. "From my past experience I know the value of support groups and the wisdom contained in Love is a Journey. The groups and book help us to inspire us to heal ourselves and our relationships." n Bernie Siegel, M.D. Author of Love, Medicine & Miracles, and Prescriptions for Living "In my work with cancer patients, I have seen couples exhibit enormous courage, team work and stamina. With this exceptionally practical guide, Drs. Latona and Stricklin are increasing the odds that couples will navigate this difficult path successfully. I can't wait to start recommending it to my patients.: n Daniel S. Dworkin, Ph.D., Co-author, Helping the Bereaved: Therapeutic Interventions for Children, Adolescents and Adults "A must reading for all couples facing cancer together, as well as for caregivers and professionals assisting these couples. In addition to identifying stages to assist couples in anticipating and normalizing the range of impacts when cancer becomes part of their lives, the authors provide real-life examples to help understand these stages." n Douglas H. Lamb, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Illinois State University Grief and loss researcher and practitioner "I wish my husband and I could have read Love is a Journey during the acute treatment stages of my cancer - it validates and supports so much of what a couple goes through. But, it has also helped us to identify the long-range effect on our marriage now that the cancer is in remission. It's never too late for couples to benefit from this book!" n Janet Lammens, cancer survivor "The focus of Love is a Journey is on nourishing the relationship that connects the partners. Gary and Jan understand with their minds and with their hearts and deliver their message with respectful authenticity." n Candyce S.
