Nearly 13 million kids in the U.S. have special healthcare needs—14 percent of children. Yet, few have ever heard these kids’ honest thoughts, until now…
Forever Hellos, Hard Good-Byes: Inspiration, wit, & wisdom from courageous kids facing life-threatening illness is a groundbreaking and essential book for anyone interested in the human condition, or enthralled and inspired by remarkable stores. Forever Hellos, Hard Good-Byes shares the stories, insights, and advice—in their own words—of 34 children who face life-altering/life-threatening illnesses. The kids come from across the nation and from all socioeconomic backgrounds, creating a mosaic from which all readers will benefit.
“These stories are genuine and well written. They effectively communicate the real fears and challenges of children coping with serious illness. The authors also draw out the courage that these children exhibit in facing their illnesses while trying to maintain a sense of normalcy.”—David Williams, President and CEO, Make-A-Wish Foundation of America
“This is an outstanding book…the stories are honest, genuine, heartfelt, and inspiring. Each story is a testament to the beauty of the inner spirit. I would eagerly share (the book) with our patients and their families. I would also recommend that every healthy teen read this book.”—Lori Wiener, Ph.D., ACSW, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health
“The Society of Pediatric Nurses endorses Forever Hellos, Hard Good-Byes. Not only can the book be an important resource for children facing serious illness, but it is also an inspiration for all who read it of the resiliency and strength of the human spirit.”—Society of Pediatric Nurses
