For some people, having extra counter top space can help to make them feel more comfortable when it comes to storing their drinks. A best undercounter beverage refrigerator gives you extra counter top space, which makes it easier to store extra drinks when you are out at restaurants or enjoy entertaining guests.

HERE’S A SUMMARY OF THE BOOK
At least once in your life someone will say to you, “I have cancer,” and when she says the three words, you may struggle with a response. If a loved one or friend hasn’t informed you of a cancer diagnosis, it’s only a matter of time until they will. Every year fourteen million people worldwide learn they are living with or may die from this insidious illness. The uncertainty of cancer causes anxiety in those diagnosed and feelings of inadequacy in loved ones and friends who want to help.
When someone says “I have cancer,” what will you say? More importantly, what will you do? In Loving, Supporting, and Caring for the Cancer Patient, readers will learn specific ways of going beyond the response “I’m so sorry,” and practical behaviors that will ease a loved one or friend’s journey. They range from being specific immediately after a diagnosis, to honoring their loved one or friend at the moment of passing.
Based on my cancer journey, thirty years of counseling and coaching people living with cancer and their loved ones, and as a bedside volunteer in four hospices over eight years, the book is filled with poignant accounts of clients and patients, personal reflections, and age-old stories filled with infinite wisdom.
A friend of mine recommended this book. As somebody who has been a caregiver for my wife for the past 11 years with her stage 4 breast cancer, I wish there was a book more focused on helping the caregivers work through things they go through. Maybe a topic on why everybody leaves, and the caregivers left alone. It’s interesting that the cancer patient then gets surrounded by other people going through cancer, but the caregivers left isolated alone.
Hi Howard (sorry if this is your last name. It was difficult to tell in the heading).
Have you looked at Leaning Into Sharp Points? It’s a book I wrote just for caregivers who are experiencing the lack of support and isolation you feel.
