Overview

This is not a book full of medical terminology, I personally don't know the language, but I do know the language of love. I lost two sisters who suffered from cancer. Not only can cancer be hard to deal with, but family conflict can also become just as unbearable during these stressful times. It can either bring families closer together or it can destroy them. Where there is already dysfunction, there will surely be more in times of great stress and loss. What would you do if your loved one was looking you straight in the eyes, begging you to kill them? The torture and pain could be seen all the way into my sister's soul. She was trying so hard, in all her weakness, to fight her way out of palliative care and her impending death. To be honest, by the end I wanted her to go nearly as bad as she did. I also wanted her to live, but not like this. It was a constant conflict going on inside my heart and brain. ""NO ONE SHOULD SUFFER LIKE THIS!"" I cried out in my own mind. I was wracked with pain from my fibromyalgia, and I was exhausted from trying to keep my anxiety disorder in check. I prayed to God every night for relief for her and strength for myself. I prayed that He would make sure I was with my sister when she passed. Above all else, I could not bear the thought of her dying alone. Losing one sister already and not being there for her was something I did not want to experience again. Almost a year of watching someone suffer was too much for any human, much less your own family member. However, I was determined to stick it out. Many days I forced myself to place one foot in front of the other to keep going. After so much darkness and pain, there comes a gift of light. A surprise, so wonderful and sweet!

Author Information

I was born in a beautiful, quiet town in Newfoundland called Gander in 1956. I lived there for 4 years with my family before my father accepted a job in Goose Bay, Labrador where we all moved. We moved back to Newfoundland to a little community called Clarke's Head, Gander Bay where I started High School and we lived there until I was 19 years old. My parents then moved back to Gander in 1976 where they lived out their lives. I married a man from Labrador and moved to Alberta in 1978 where I have resided ever since. I have 4 adult children and 4 grandchildren. I divorced my husband 20 years ago and decided after working in jewelry for 15 years, I needed to slow down after being diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2011. A year later at 55 years old I found my new love, writing. This is my second book since then. The first one was published in October 2013 called, ""When Lilacs Bloom.""
