By Their Side: A Resource for Caretakers and Loved Ones Facing an Eating Disorder

This practical resource guide shares essential information and personal stories from eating disorder survivors, family members, caretakers, and others.

When someone you love is in the throes of an eating disorder, it can be difficult to believe recovery is possible. By Their Side offers help and hope to those fighting alongside a loved one in the struggle against this heartbreaking illness. Providing first-hand testimony, scientific expertise, resources, and actionable guidance, the book serves as a lifeline for both the individual coping with the disease and those struggling to give them the right support.

Written collectively under the name Lara Lyn Bell, By Their Side draws together the diverse stories of families, friends, doctors, therapists, caregivers, and recovered eating disorder advocates. The Lara Lyn Bell collective speaks together to emphasize the insidious, cross-cultural impact of this life-or-death issue. As a result of their united anonymity, By Their Side mirrors the reader’s story as they connect with the shared challenges, successes, and perspectives on their journey to healing.
