Great Handbook for Family Members
583176
A few years ago, after starting to realize that I am a FtM transsexual, I met Mary Boenke (the author).  She told me about her son, also an FtM, and welcomed me into her home.  At the time, she was just finishing TransForming Families and gave me a copy to read.
Wow, what a great book!  Not even so much for me, because I'm secure in who I am, but for my parents.  It lets them know that they are not alone, and that being transgendered is not the stuff of Jerry Springer but of life and love instead.  If you're trans,  get this book.  If you know someone trans, get this book.  If you just want to understand what being trans is REALLY all about, get this book...

There is little doubt that most people will recognize their own families in this book since no family is perfect and most are truly dysfunctional to some degree. This book has a good spiritual approach to looking at family life.

I use it as a part-time minister to give me insights on famlies and their issues. I think everyone can get something of great value out of reading this book. I highly recommend it along with the whole series of books offered as a part of the Minirth-Meier Healing series.

Excellent handbook for anyone whose partner has passed, expected or not. Excellent suggestions for coping skills and description of how the author experienced her own loss. Specifically targeted for early or middle life partners who lost their spouses suddenly and without warning. Highly recommend.

I have recommended this book to the families that I work  and  with as well as family therapists in the field. The author candidly shares her intimate relationship with her son and the struggle to stay connected while not enabling his disease. Through the writing of this book she not only shares her hope for ides while grieving the loss of her son but she provides very helpful and practical information for families, including a glossary of terminology for self-care the person you care about is living with addiction.

Vikk Simmons addresses the full range of issues for dealing with aging family members. If you have siblings or friends who are involved in the care of your loved one, go through this book with them and discuss the roles that you are each willing to take on. Each of the 52 Things can be used to clarify your own feelings and abilities. Vikk makes the entire endeavour a little less scary.

Although I haven't yet read every word of this book, it's careful organization makes it useful as a reference for many concerns caregivers have when looking after aging parents.  It is easy to read, too.  I rarely buy a book (many libraries see me regularly) but this was definitely worth buying.

Great book for families that want to give their children all the information they need as their children enter puberty. It is for a tween to teenager and I would recommend pre reading so you are ready to answer questions as they come up. We are very happy with the content and that it covers so much.

This is the book my brother and I wish had been available years ago when our own parents needed increasing care.  I cannot give "Graceful Last Chapters" enough superlatives.  It is written, in part, to help caregivers understand and investigate the options for more care, even before their family member (or others) may need it.  But it is not a 'dry' book.  The author's caregiving experiences within her own family, her legal expertise in eldercare law, and her work in sales and marketing at several continuing care communities--all work together to fill this book with many examples of the twists and turns readers might encounter in working with their loved ones or in exploring senior care options.  A lot of very practical information is presented in a well-paced, digestible form.  This is a wonderful and very helpful guide for all of us!

I saw this wonderful book at my sisters house, and after looking through its pages I immediately began thinking of all the people I would like to share it with. Everyone I know wants to have their families feel close to each other, and having happy family home evenings each week is one of the best ways I can think of to do that. Unfortunately, with so much going on in our busy lives, it can be challenging to find time for the things we value most. This book is a great support for having fun, meaningful family home evenings with minimal preparation. It also has a list of daily scriptures to help families keep the FHE lesson topic in mind throughout the week. The author has done a great deal of work to coordinate music, stories, quotes, activities and scriptures for each topic, including adaptations for younger and older children. There is so much included in this book that it could easily be used throughout the coming year and for many years to come.
