Everyone knows someone who is sick or suffering,
yet many of us feel uncertain about how to cope. Throughout her recent bout
with breast cancer, Letty Pogrebin became intrigued by her friends’ and
family’s diverse reactions to her and her illness. She talked to veterans of
serious illness, seeking to discover what sick people wished their friends knew
(and were surprised they didn’t know) about how to comfort, help, and even
simply talk to them. Now Pogrebin has distilled their collective insights and
ideas into this compendium of guidance, pragmatic tips, and usable wisdom.


 A founding editor and writer for Ms. Magazine, Pogrebin is
also the author of ten books and two memoirs and has been a leader in many
social justice causes.  She served two terms as President of The Authors
Guild, a national organization dedicated to the protection of writers’
copyright and contract rights; and two terms as Chair of the Board of Americans
for Peace Now, an advocacy organization working to promote a negotiated
settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
