The only resource specifically written for the emotional and spiritual recovery of the loved ones of people with heart disease: finding a "new normal" when change is the only constant. A handbook for dealing with hospital and medical staff, lifestyle changes, feelings, self-care, family issues, physical intimacy, and spiritual questions. The book interweaves practical information, support, and emotional guidance. The greatest challenge for heartmates is learning to live with uncertainty and coping with the unknown. The book, a companion for the family's journey with heart disease, supports letting go of what's been lost, developing new perspectives and patterns of action, and practicing self-care.
