“Loving Life” by Steve Ford is an inspirational book tailored for partners, families, and friends of those confronting serious health challenges, such as cancer. It offers guidance on how to provide support, maintain emotional wellbeing, and handle the stress and anxiety that come with caring for a loved one.
