When Cherry Blossoms Bloom
A guide to helping people who are facing terminal or life-limiting illnesses
Leticia M. Starks-Underwood 
What are the challenges faced by those who have been diagnosed with a terminal or life-limiting illness? Especially if it eventually ends their lives or impacts their quality of life. The fact that they grieve is not something we think about, but it does happen to them. However, despite their suffering, they keep their emotions inside for the sake of their family.

In her newly published book, When Cherry Blossoms Bloom, Valerie Lovelight discusses ways to support those facing terminal or life-limiting illnesses. A terminal illness can be dealt with in many ways, but isolation is one of the most common. For this reason, it is imperative for those living with life illnesses to communicate their feelings and experiences with someone, in order to reduce anxiety, depression, and isolation. Despite worries from loved ones and friends, individuals struggling with illness no longer have to fear being judged if they express their feelings.
As a guide for people struggling with life illnesses, When Cherry Blossom Bloom aims to provide support and encouragement. When dealing with a terminal illness or life-limiting condition, it is wise not to face it alone. Furthermore, it is imperative for those who have been diagnosed to let the people around them know when they will need help and what they will need.
Author Valerie shares her insight into how to be emotionally intelligent when individuals are struggling to cope with illnesses and isolation due to a lack of family support. Every chapter in When Cherry Blossom Bloom begins with skits that help people better understand and perhaps relate. If you or someone you know is struggling with life's illnesses, you'll want to read this book.
