Produktbeschreibung

Time stops. Nothing that mattered one minute ago is of any importance anymore. How do I tell my children and my husband that I may die? Is this the end or a detour? How can this be possible? "I had no idea what the future held - whether I would be alive for one more day, or for even another hour. At that moment, the clock stopped... My boat had started to rock and I could not see a clear course forward through the oncoming storm." The author shares her most personal thoughts, fears, and triumphs over the most challenging year of her life and asks questions, brilliantly connecting to her readers. The voices of friends and family members ring true as they share their own experiences of fear and hope. We are moved to a powerfully emotional and honest reflection of our own beliefs and life's purpose. While traveling with the author and her family through their reflections, you will be empowered to advocate for yourself and others regardless of crisis and life challenges.

It's a real gift for suffering humanity, a journey towards love, compassion, and inner freedom; a journey towards healing.
