When a loved one is diagnosed with cancer, it is devastating. Through personal experience, Robert Bruce advises how to overcome the challenges that surface along this emotional path and recommends a plan for dealing with the outcome. In a conversational tone, he presents his experiences--from the initial diagnosis to how he accepted and redefined himself after his wife's death.
