If you've ever tried to help a friend cope with a difficult and painful time in her life, then this book is for you.Why is She Acting So Weird? fills in the gap of time between building friendships (ala Shasta Nelson) and ending friendships (ala Dr. Irene S. Levine). When Jenn McRobbie was diagnosed with breast cancer, she found that her friendships changed and morphed in ways that no one could have expected. To honor all of those relationships, Jenn has written this book for all friends; the book she wished she could have given her friends when she was diagnosed. She's walked the path of crisis with her friends and now offers you the valuable insight gained during that journey. Why is She Acting So Weird? gives friends ways to navigate the difficult terrain of a crisis. Inside you'll find topics ranging from developing a support system to what to say when you're at a loss for words. You'll learn practical skills about things like helping your friend build a communication plan and how to offer advice without overstepping your friend's boundaries. At the end of the book, you'll have a greater understanding of what your friend is going through and how you can help.*** ADVANCE PRAISE ***We've all been there--struggling with what to say, what to do and how to act when a friend, relative, coworker or fellow homeroom mom says she has cancer.
