I want to share 3 new wonderful books that have come my way. I always say our stories may be different, but we share the same journey. These three books are uniquely different, yet a theme of life, faith and courage runs through them all.
Becoming Starlight, A Shared Death Journey from Darkness to Light, by Dr. Sharon Prentice is a powerful memoir about love, loss and a miraculous phenomenon she witnessed called Shared Death Experience (SDE). She was transported to a place of peace, grace and starlight as her husband took his last breath and passed away. I have personally heard of similar experiences from friends and family who witnessed something unexplained as their loved ones were released from this life. This is a fascinating and inspiring story. Anyone questioning the meaning of life and death will find honest answers here from someone on a remarkable quest.
128 Days and Counting, A 28 Year Old Caregiver’s Memoir, has a special place in my heart not only because the author has my Nana’s birthday but because it’s an in-depth look at caregiving from a millennial point of view. Honore Nolting is 28 years of age when her husband Tom is diagnosed with cancer. This book reflects the pain, fear, courage and power of an outstanding caregiver and the man she loves. She takes us on a journey that paints an intimate and honest picture of what caregiving and cancer look like at the prime of your life.
Prisoners Without Bars, a Caregiver’s Tale by Donna O’Donnell Figurski is a heart wrenching story about the effects of Traumatic Brain Injury on family and friends. Donna’s beloved husband David experiences a TBI and their lives are immediately changed forever. Donna shares the aftershock of becoming a caregiver overnight, and how she finds the strength and courage to survive and show up one day at time.
All three books can be found on Amazon at the links below. Enjoy these caregiving journeys!
