Life Interrupted-It's Not All about Me by Multiple Sclerosis sufferer Chris M. Tatevosian guides patients and caregivers with the awareness, knowledge and understanding they need to deal more positively with the emotional and physical stresses put on a relationship interrupted by illness or disability.

Chronic illness doesn't just cripple the mind and body; it can cripple even the strongest relationship. People dealing with MS or any chronic illness need coping skills. Now, Chris M. Tatevosian, a sufferer of the chronic disease Multiple Sclerosis, chronicles his own struggles and shows viewers how he learned to cope with the disease and with the subsequent breakup of his marriage.

The facilitator of a popular course, "Life Interrupted," at the First Congregational Church of Hopkinton, Tatevosian shows readers how to better take care of themselves and maintain their important relationships. Written in warm, compassionate prose, the book explores how a "poor me" attitude can destroy a relationship, and it shows how to develop a greater feeling of self-worth and self-esteem. This is a terrific book for anyone who wants to deal more positively will illness or strengthen a relationship.

"A real person, speaking right from the heart, and it touched my heart." -Rick Mansfield, Caring Coordinator, The First Congregational Church of Hopkinton, Massachusetts
