Hello, and welcome to the WBZ Book Club. Jordan here with you. For those of you who are stressed out and exhausted because you're caring for someone you'd love who's seriously ill, and you're looking to feel a bit less overwhelmed. I have a book to recommend. It's called Coping Courageously, subtitled A heart centered Guide for navigating a loved one's
illness without losing yourself. The author is well qualified. She's Delia Chiermanti, an MD who's an integrative palliative medicine physician, and she's helped so many families cope with serious illness.
The book will help guide you and those you love through a very difficult path, telling you about the key things to do and the things not to do when dealing with a sick loved one, how to ensure you're getting the best medical care possible, and a very important issue for all, how to manage the stress of the situation. Doctor Chiermonti shares stories of her patients and how you can achieve some sense of confidence and peace of mind to deal with what is undoubtedly one of the most
difficult situations in life. Coping Courageously by doctor Dilia Chiermonti, and that's the book Club. WBZ, Boston's news radio
