How Are You COPING?
Coping:
The Many Faces of Love and Care
I saw the need for this book. People around me are caregivers. Their lives are rarely easy, but they COPE. Personality plays a role, and reality reigns.
Read twelve different short stories about caregivers and a quick novella about a long-distance caregiver. Think about the man who runs away on his motorized vehicle. See how the neglected daughter cared for her mother with care and compassion.
The book cover shows that there is a rainbow, and you are not alone. How did they do it? Learn from their experiences. Look for the rainbows.
This book is not a medical book, but twelve true stories about men and women who cared about their relatives and friends with love and understanding.

New 4 YOU
There is no short story this month. I moved and I want to spend much of my time this month with my family and friends. I feel sure I’ll have more to say in 2026.
Take time to find gifts for your friends. Call a distant relative who would love to talk with you, but you haven’t had a chance to listen to others. Look for chances for thoughtfulness and kindness. The world needs smiles.
Please consider books for your loved ones, a book that fits the individual. Consider personalities. When someone is “ugly” to you, try to understand why the person may be heartbroken inside or hurting badly. It may have nothing to do with you.
Look around. Sigh and be more comfortable when you are kind and thoughtful.
And don’t forget the book Coping: The Many Faces of Love and Care for those people who are facing the pathos of caring for another person.
