The document discusses how to support those diagnosed with cancer both emotionally and practically. It provides tips for listening without judgment, asking permission before giving advice, understanding the trauma they experience, offering humor and hope, empathizing with their fear, analyzing their needs, keeping toxic people away, offering specific help like errands, validating their feelings, and letting them bring up their health issues at their own pace. The overall message is to laugh, learn, and love those affected by cancer.

In your life time you or a loved one will be diagnosed with cancer. There will be science, tests and sterile hospitalsbut very little information on the emotional healing. I share the information from a magazine called Cure. I found it to be insightful, true and worth sharing with those who have loved ones effected by cancer. I share this in honor of my beautiful wife Kathy, a survivor of ovarian cancer. I hope that it will continued to be shared with others, so we can all learn how we can be supportive with care and love.
