I recently purchased all three books and gifted 2 of the 3 to a family I am friends with. The one I kept for myself if this book, as it applies to me, the friend of someone coping with chronic pain. I feel strongly that our understanding and behaviors with regards to chronic pain is a journey and the more we dive in to understand it and participate in active coping the richer our relationships will become. This is not something to fear, we do not loose that person nor the relationship when chronic pain happens, we need to fight for it, learn about it, deal with it...cope with it. Thank you for this book of motivation to do this.

The chronic pain patient has a lot to deal with in the course of their disease. This book helps the patient to understand that what they are experiencing is normal and that frustration with those around them is also normal. The book can also be helpful for family and friends to understand that their role is to do other than their normal inclination. It includes what to do and not to do to help those that you care about. The language is simple, direct and easily implementable. Well done. As a pastor, i especially understand the wisdom of listening to those in pain and that is highlighted throughout the book. Being heard helps relieve stress and mitigate pain.

When I read this third book in the series, I had already read the other two. I thought to myself, "What can there be beyond what has already been said?" I was pleasantly surprised to see there was much more. Each of the three books gives the reader key insight about chronic pain and what the person with it is experiencing. But the great part about the series is that each book gives a look from the perspective of that targeted audience for that book in the series. The Family and Friends entry in the series is no exception. By the time I had completed this third book, I felt I had a much truer picture of the world that someone in chronic pain has to operate. And the "letter to a friend" and "the Salami Technique" were excellent examples of a practicle approach to winning over chronic pain. Very well done!

We all know how debilitating pain can be and how it can affect every area of our life. For those of us who have not experienced chronic pain, it is hard to imagine what that can be like. But most importantly we are often at a loss to know how to deal with the people in pain, so we distance ourselves because we can't fix the problem, in order to avoid the feelings of guilt and uselessness, or we may say things that are supposed to be supportive when in fact all they do is add to the pain of the sufferer. This book is not only of use to the chronic pain sufferer, but to all people who come in contact with one. I particularly appreciated the fact that the person in pain does not expect us to FIX the problem. The list of all the do's and don't are very helpful, particularly the "black" list of things we should never say and the "Letter to a friend". I cringe at the thought of some the things I have said in such circumstances trying to be positive, in total ignorance of how these "helpful comments" affect the person at the receiving end. This is a very significant guide for everyone of us, as sooner or later we may find ourselves in either position. Don't wait until the situation arises.
