Stuck With It, Not In It is a collection of stories from people with Parkinson's disease (PD), family members of people living with the illness, volunteers for Parkinson's-related organizations, and professionals specializing PD. Each story is personal and has a message. The stories tell how people faced the disease, stared it down and found new ways of going forward. They refocused and redefined their purpose in life. They learned lessons that they want to share with others--anyone who lives with Parkinson's or wants to understand what life is like for people dealing with a chronic disease.

The Light in the Middle of the Tunnel is not a self-help book. It's a let-others-help-you book, in which caregivers share their distressing, sometimes overwhelming feelings - and their hard-won self-care skills and wisdom. It's a support group between covers, designed to help readers with the hardest part of the process: dealing with their own emotions. Each chapter takes up one of the emotions that hits a caregiver as the reality of their partner's condition sinks in: anger, fear, sorrow, acceptance, renewal, joy.
