As soon as I noticed the title of this book, I immediately reflected back to 30 years of Nursing, working on all units, including oncology. The author shares her personal experience, along with touching stories of patients and their feedback of how they were treated, and what was missing. As I contemplate on hundreds of patients I cared for in the healthcare industry, many diagnosed with terminal illness, I remember listening to their own stories of how friendship and family interactions played a huge role in personal feelings, and recovery. The author portrays the essential importance of how to treat people that are sick, regardless of whether their condition is chronic, or terminal. Letty Cottin Pogrebin describes situations that can be awkward, misunderstood, and uncomfortable. Her main purpose of writing this book was to pass on information to others that makes a difference in the lives of those who are sick, and suffering. This book is filled with wisdom, guidance, and compassion. The author explains the things we should say, and the things we should not do. In addition, the crucial lessons highlighted by the author will benefit the sick in many ways. Letty Cottin Pogrebin offers tips for good behavior when visiting the sick, and how we should act. Most important, we must remember the feelings of the patient. The author's wise and witty lessons are valuable tools in helping to nurture the sick, and suffering. She describes what is needed, and how terror, fear and despair can only hurt more. When these challenges are met that the author discusses, it could indeed make a huge impact on the condition of the sick, and healers. Overall, the author described how these acts of kindness will nurture the sick, and the importance of sharing these lessons with friends, and family. This heartfelt book is impressive, inspiring, and beautifully written. Highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a good book! *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2013* You hate to say how 'great' this book is, because of the reasons you may have to buy it. Given that, this book is so wonderful for a situation that you face particularly as you get older--when friends are seriously ill. What do you say, or do? This book becomes the guidebook.It's that good. Like Pogrebin, I had stage 0 breast cancer. I went thru many of the personal, emotional experiences that I did not expect. The seemingly cruel "Oh, you have the good one," the choices you have to make when you are the most frightened person in the room, the unintentional demands people put on you "Just let me know if you need anything," comments that are made. Pogrebin's book shows us that many friends simply don't know what to say, do for you, how to be caring and involved. Friends are scared too, of their own mortality, which your illness may remind them of, and simply clumsy with deep emotions that your illness, accident, pick your illness... may come up.This book, for me, and for friends, has come out at a perfect time. She is an outstanding guide through the path of being a friend with a friend who is sick. There is a tender thoughtfulness in her writing, along with practicality to her advice and suggestions. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Great Book for Everyone! *by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2014* Recently I was told that my renal cancer came back and had spread. I was given my options (which weren't great) and what could happen in the near future. The first time I was fine and dealt with it great. This time I wasn't handling it as well as I wanted to for both my family and my friends. My social worker suggested this wonderful book. It was a godsend. Letty Pogrebin was right on with her down to earth, honesty and insightful experience that sometimes I said "me too!". It was so helpful that I bought a bunch of them for my family, friends and support team (Letty's suggestion) to help them help me. I have even suggested this book to various book clubs due to the various subject matters and as a great discussion tool. She was even thoughtful and thorough as to include tools at the end of the book. I have the book on my kindle so that I can go back and reread when I am feeling low and need someone who understands.Thank you Letty! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/8190858-how-to-be-a-friend-to-a-friend-whos-sick](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/8190858-how-to-be-a-friend-to-a-friend-whos-sick) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
