Written for both the caregiver and support persons, Eat Ice Cream for Supper addresses issues from cancer diagnosis to death and beyond. If you know someone with a terminal illness, whether directly or indirectly, you will benefit from the guidance, information, personal stories, and many real life examples in this book.



One in three women and one in two men will have cancer before they die.
What will you do when it touches your life?
Kathy Manning Gronau was forced to answer this question---twice! First, cancer tapped on her husband’s shoulder and took him away. Three weeks after his death, cancer tapped again, this time on her shoulder. As an RN armed with new knowledge and the experience of her husband’s cancer journey, Gronau was able to navigate and endure the medical, psychological, and emotional journey through cancer to survivorship. Now she’s clearing the path for you.
Inside you will discover:
* How to deal with a cancer diagnosis and what questions to ask as your journey begins
* The various roles of your medical team and how to find the right one
* The complex dance of treatment along with common tests, procedures, and terminology
* How to identify death when he comes knocking and how to prepare for his arrival
* Adjusting to life after death and understanding the grieving process
* How to capture and appreciate the joy in fond memories of loved ones passed
