Write For Life: Communicating Your Way Through Cancer

by David Tabatsky

Each day, millions of people face traumatic change, when everything familiar feels challenged. What if they began writing about the experience? What if they took better control by communicating more effectively and expressing their feelings? What if their struggle becomes a source of inspiration? Twenty years of research indicates that expressive writing—dealing with one’s deepest thoughts and feelings—may contribute to improved physical and emotional health.
Many cancer stories are uplifting while others are not easy to digest. But all are authentic and honest, and reflect the staggering reality of the cancer world. Open your heart. Give writing a chance. Personal expression can be a gift––for you, and everyone you know. Welcome to Write for Life.

David Tabatsky’s energy, commitment and expertise have enabled cancer patients and survivors to process their experiences in a new and often healing way.

Write for Life: Communicating Your Way Through Cancer Write for Life: Communicating Your Way Through Cancer (Paperback)
by David Tabatsky

This is a great book for anyone with cancer or with any chronic disease that needs to be powered through. The book is a place to write about feelings about cancer and think about life. The book can be for older children to adults because it asks the reader to write about what makes you laugh, how your favorite music makes you feel, and much more. There is also guidance on writing, editing, and publishing your writing. A lot of good topics to write and think about are in this book. I agree that writing about things and about your issues helps to make you feel better.
