Lean on Me, Through a Carer's Eyes

In Lean on Me, Through a Carer's Eyes, Lorraine Kember, published
author and poet, tells her personal story of caring for her husband who was diagnosed
with mesothelioma, using poetry and words of wisdom to help guide other caregivers.

Her husband lived two years after his mesothelioma diagnosis and much of the book
is dedicated to the anticipatory grief Lorraine experienced, which is the unpredictability
of emotions felt when a loved one is diagnosed with a terminal illness, at times
feeling grief for someone who is still living. A major concern for Lorraine throughout
her experience was ensuring her husband's pain was managed, and she details
how she did this. The story also touches on coping with grief after losing a loved
one and how she found strength to move on.
