Book for Husbands...interested in contributing?

Jubird

Hello! I am in the beginning stages of assembling a book focused on husbands and/or same-sex partners of women with breast cancer. I know in my journey, my husband had plenty of strike-outs and a few home runs...some humorous, some touching. I know he struggled with his own uncertainty and fears. I have spoken with other husbands as well who feel they have no one to talk to, no time for a support group, and would much appreciate having a book to devour laid out with lists, bullet points, anecdotes, and camaraderie.

Having a partner fully equipped at the get-go will also make our personal journeys more smooth.

Email your stories, your one-liners, winners and losers both. Your heartaches and your triumphs. Everything will be anonymous and your sharings will not be published without your explicit permission after the publisher has been established. You will have final say in how your story is told, and you can veto anytime before final coy is approved. There will be no monetary compensation, however, a portion of the profits will go toward distribution of the hard copy to hospitals and health centers.

Please do not post information below...use the above email only. You will receive email reply from that address upon receipt of your story.

Would you partner also like to share? I welcome it!

Thanks...and if this is inappropriate to post here, please let me know, but what I hope to create will help so many, I pray that it is allowed to stay! Thanks! Do feel free to post below comments of encouragement!

Hi Jubird,

I would love to help contribute! I have so much to say and express going though the journey with my wife for the past 11 years. I would also like to encourages other husbands to post and help out here we are all in this together and the challenges are often painful at best!

Wishing you health and happiness!

My Husband is interested! Can he e mail you?

Jubird

@DarlingFrustratedLovingHusband and @littleblueflowers, thank you so much for your response! I'll private message you both with further information!

Hugs, and spread the word! The sooner we can make this project happen, the better! Also, I am seeking a great psychologist/psychiatrist to co-author with me, if anyone has a suggestion--outstanding, loving, caring, experienced only!
