Book excerpt: The moment a loved one is diagnosed with a serious illness or disability, your world changes. Every assumption you had about the future vanishes. Your plans are replaced with doubt, fear, and anxiety. You're plunged into limbo, into a state of constant uncertainty. Living in Limbo: Creating Structure and Peace When Someone You Love Is Ill offers hope for caregivers. This book is a useful resource of coping strategies and behavioral changes you can make as you take on the mantle of caregiver. For Laura Michaels, her life changed instantly when her husband Bill was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. A wife and working mother of three, Laura was devastated but couldn't let her grief and shock stop her from functioning. She needed to adapt and respond to her new reality. Although Laura's experience was with cancer, the philosophical and practical approaches discussed here are applicable for anyone supporting a loved one with an acute or chronic illness, or physical or mental disability. Backing up Michael's intensely personal story are the observations of her coauthor, psychiatrist Claire Zilber, MD. Claire's contributions include clinical commentary as well as helpful anecdotes of her work with patients and family members.
