Positive help for children

I read this book because my cousin has a similar disease and I was looking for resources for her teenage daughter. This book is an excellent overview of the grieving process that a family goes through when they realize that a disease is going to change their lives forever. It gives teenagers practical advice on where to look for help, coping with your parent's anger and frustration, and balancing caring for yourself and your parent. I also read "Coping with Being Gifted" in the same series and it was just as well written and balanced.
