Everyone can learn new or more effective coping skills and strategies to deal with times of loss, crisis, and disability. Being aware of possible options or of how others fare in coping with difficult situations is better than groping in the dark. It is hoped that the real life experiences and coping skills presented here will help others in dealing with similar issues and challenges.
