Chris' journey through illness is helpful to others Mar 17, 2008
I thank the author for his transparency and humbleness in relaying
his experiences with chronic illness and relationships.
This is a book of hope for that time when people get stuck in the cycle
of pain and frustration because of the presence of illness and it's effects
on the lives of everyone involved!
Thanks for the book! Kari Semik

Absolutely Enlightening!! Mar 17, 2008
"Life Interrupted, it's not all about me" is without a doubt the best book I have ever read that depicts the challenges of a persons first reaction to hearing the news they are no longer going to be able to do the things they love doing and have done all their lives....run, jump, walk, swim, ride a bike, drive, see, write, feel, and enjoy life as others do. That is like a slap in the face to anyone, but Chris puts his experience down that path in a manner that everyone can relate, disabled or not.
This book is not just for those who may be afflicted with a debilitating disease, but for anyone who has struggled in a relationship because of the "normal" issues like, stress, loss of a job, kids, lack of communication, anger, and depression. This is not a "How To" type book, but more along the lines of a "How Not To" writes Chris, and he is correct.
When reading this book, I found each page something so insightful that would just jump off the page. I highly recommend everyone read this book. Chris makes it very easy to get to know him before his diagnosis, as well as his journey through the difficult times, and on to the glorious time of today. Once you start reading you will not be able to put this book down. Chris keeps you intrigued and wanting to read on.

Chris Tatevosian works his magic. Mar 05, 2008
Chris Tatevosian does a great job of taking you through the twists and turns that an illness like MS can bring to an individual, a relationship, and all of those around. Hopefully "Life Interrupted" will help those with similar situations begin to understand and appreciate the mental aspects, as well as the physical conditions of this disease. I have already reccommended this book to many people that are experiencing similar situations in hopes that they may avoid some of the pitfalls that Chris has experienced. Thanks Chris for bringing your story to light. Job well done!

Truth in action Jan 25, 2008
This book was written with a better than 20/20 hindsight. The author tells his story without trying to gild any of his own warts and blemishes. He is brutally truthful and effectively draws the reader directly into his life and what was going through his mind at his own expense. The effect is true insight into his life as he dealt with the debilitation of MS physically as well as the emotional strains it brought into all other aspects of his life. He also reveals how he was able to overcome that "poor me" feeling and radically change his outlook on life. This book is for everyone and has special relevance for anyone struggling with a steadily progressive ailment.

 Eye Opener Dec 02, 2007
I am the spouse of a man living with MS. This book opened my eyes to a lot of feelings my husband deals with but also helped me deal with emotions I have as well. Before reading this book I knew that we have a strong marriage. I now realize how fragile that can be when a chronic illness lives with you day in and day out. The author has opened my eyes to many pitfalls that can be avoided by good communication and paying attention to your partner's perspective.
I am thankful that the author was willing to share his journey in order to help others. Definitely a must read.
