SynopsisWhen you hear the two words you dread most from someone you care about, you know at once that your friend's life has been turned upside down. Whether she's a good friend, a best friend, or just an acquaintance, you want to be supportive. But how can you understand what she's going through enough to know what she needs? What can you say besides "If you need anything-anything at all ..."? Marissa Henley is here to help show you the way. A cancer survivor herself, she lets you in on what having cancer feels like and what your friend truly needs. She prepares you to support your friend with both knowledge and compassion. And she offers specific action steps and practical support resources to help you show love in the day-to-day details. Cancer is a life-altering challenge-but Marissa will equip and empower you to walk alongside your friend with love and support. Book jacket., When cancer strikes a friendship, the questions begin. What's going to happen now? What should I say and do? How can I really help?

This practical guide steps into that gap as Marissa helps you to gain a deeper understanding of the situation: what your friend may be thinking and feeling, what her treatment may entail, what logistical issues may arise. Then she gives concrete suggestions for providing emotional, physical, and spiritual support that reflects genuine compassion and sympathy. Appendices include biblical studies on suffering and community. Whether you're caring for a close friend, a member of your congregation, or a more distant acquaintance, you will find resources here to understand your role, make a plan, and be a much-needed support in the days to come., When cancer strikes a friendship, the questions begin.
