Book excerpt: Repackaged in a colorful, eye-catching jacket, this bestselling, inspirational quote book makes the perfect gift for the special people in our lives. "Husbands come and go; children come and eventually they go. Friends grow up and move away. But the one thing that's never lost is your sister." --Gail Sheehy It is often said that you can choose your friends but you can't choose your family. For those of us lucky enough to have sisters, SISTERS ARE SPECIAL shares the joy of this special relationship. No doubt, there are times when we've hated our sisters--they borrowed our clothes and never returned them; they acted as if they were smarter just because they were older, or they made fun of us in front of our friends. But our sisters often understood us when no one else did, and they were always there in the hard times to support us. SISTERS ARE SPECIAL is a loving tribute to those who play a unique role in our lives. Filled with anecdotes, poems, and quotes from the famous to the unknown, this book is a perfect gift for these very special people.

Book Synopsis Being the Other One by : Kate Strohm
Download or read book Being the Other One written by Kate Strohm and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2018-03-27 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When there's a disabled child in the family, how are normally developing siblings affected? According to Kate Strohm, a counselor and health educator, siblings of the disabled face particular emotional challenges that are often overlooked. Able siblings commonly struggle with feelings of isolation, grief, anger, and anxiety—and these and other emotional issues can have lifelong effects. Being the Other One is based on the author's own experience (as a sibling of a sister with cerebral palsy) and on extensive interviews she conducted with siblings of all ages. In clear and compassionate terms, Strohm explores the often secret feelings of siblings and offers valuable strategies for coping with the challenges they face. Being the Other One reveals the difficulties faced by siblings at all stages of life, from early childhood through adulthood, when siblings must often assume responsibility for the care of their disabled brothers and sisters. Though the book looks honestly at the many challenges that siblings face, it is full of encouragement and practical strategies. Strohm emphasizes that when siblings are able to clearly identify and openly express their feelings and concerns—and when parents and health professionals offer the needed support—siblings can thrive. This book includes writing exercises for personal exploration and a substantial resources section listing helpful books, organizations, and websites.
