Product Information
Author Lynn M. Butterbrodt's husband, Ross, was diagsed with cancer twice in his life. The first time was as a two-year-old child and the second time was in 2010, a mere three months before he died. Words in a Journey of Care is part personal memoir and part restitution narrative-as well as an invitation to walk alongside a woman as she struggles to reconcile her emotions, thoughts, and faith as her world threatens to implode. Each chapter explores a single significant word from Butterbrodt's journey, beckoning readers to consider what these concepts mean in their own lives as they read about their place in Butterbrodt's story. Dealing candidly with cancer and illness, anxiety and fear, hope and doubt, and the profundity of death, this book offers compassion and a sense of solidarity to those in the throes of their own emotional hardships and spiritual upheaval. Far from offering pat answers or platitudes about cancer or the afterlife, Words in a Journey of Care invites readers to wrestle with the beautiful, terrible realities of life and death, as Butterbrodt has, and to find strength and hope in the kwledge that we are never alone in our journeys.Product Identifiers
