Description:This is a book about communication and mutual support. It is also a book about observing mutual support in action...and the growth that can come from that. It is about a whole circle of friends - including caring, concerned people who might not have initially called themselves “friends”, and including friends who are dispersed around the world. And it is about this circle of friends all observing this crisis in the life of a couple; observing the efforts to cope with the crisis; in turn, many of them deepening their own ability to understand and cope; and then pitching in to contribute - through their contribution - to the healing process of coping and surviving. In their e-mails, Marsha and Jack show a great deal of honesty and openness. They reveal their fears, their anger, their need for respect of their boundaries, their courage and their determination.
This book is about how people used the medium of e-mail, to extend their support. It worked for them, and in this widely spread community, worked beautifully. The book reveals the ways that this medium allowed mutual sharing and mutual growth among a wide circle of people. |
