Debbie Hand Announces HELPING YOUR FRIEND THROUGH THE STORM

Undergoing brain surgery to correct epileptic seizures may seem traumatic. Add to that being diagnosed with breast cancer a year later. Four years after that battle, author Debbie Hand was told she had cancer on the other side. Those were some storms that she underwent that gave her insight into what others experience when they face storms in their lives. Friends and family yearn to help but often feel at a loss.

Now, in "Helping Your Friend through the Storm: Understanding the Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Ways that You Can Help Others through the Difficulties in Their Lives" (published by WestBow Press), Hand helps readers understand the physical, emotional and spiritual difficulties that others may be going through, along with ways that they can help others facing storms in their lives. With practical and unique approaches, readers can learn new ways to help others facing storms in their lives.

By sharing accounts of her own storms, Hand sheds light on the physical, emotional and spiritual struggles of those facing major illness or other adversity. It is a book meant to give friends a firm footing in the midst of the challenge of supporting someone whose affliction they do not share.

Through her work, Hand hopes readers will develop "an understanding and deeper empathy of what others may be feeling as they go through the storms in their lives, along with ideas and approaches of ways to help them."
