The axioms contained in this book are designed to make a firm distinction between the healing power of hope and the ignorance of "blaming" the ill. These axioms are about taking control of one's life in the face of illness and death and treating oneself with love and respect, whatever the outcome. Simple and touching, they carry the power of hope and the grace of acceptance for those diagnosed as "terminal" and those who care about them. The author is the longest living AIDS survivor.

Axioms for survivors: How to live until you say goodbye

Nungesser, Lon G.

At least 2,000,000 Americans are or were married to gay, lesbian, or bisexual partners. When the partner comes out, the straight spouse is devastated. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CLOSET explores this exploding social phenomenon. Based on five years of research, including interviews with 450 men & women, the study explores common problems & diverse solutions. Most literature on the subject looks at the homosexual partner, but Dr. Buxton focuses on the straight spouse. Personal stories illustrate problems straight spouses face, issues which few outsiders would understand: sexual rejection, deception, non-traditional relationship, children's concerns, identity crisis, & shattered belief system. Buxton's analysis reveals psychological, familial, moral & spiritual implications. Stories & discussion trace stages of the struggle toward eventual transformation. Coping strategies for everyone -- spouse, partner, children & relatives -- to grow in understanding are highlighted. THE OTHER SIDE, with its discussion of children & husbands of lesbians, is the most comprehensive study of the subject to date. It is a resource for spouses, couples, professionals, & serious lay readers. Featured on national TV, the book has inspired growth of the support network for spouses sponsored by Parents & Friends of Lesbians & Gays. "Penetrating vignettes...(of)... an often neglected group."--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. Available at bookstores & through major distributors.
