Knowing I dealt with cancer, people often ask me, “What can I do to help my friend or co-worker who is going  through a difficult time?” Because far too many people are hurt by well-meaning family and friends, this message discusses 7 things that you can do to help rather than hinder the healing process.  You will learn why:

• It can take months for the reality of a cancer diagnosis to sink in.
• People handle setbacks and adversity differently.
• Rebuilding and grieving take far longer than we expect.
