Learning to Live and Love Again
Are you, or do you know someone, who has lost a spouse to long-term terminal cancer? Do you love a great true love story? Here’s the back cover copy:
Gasp! Can you believe this? We stood in shock as we read the diagnosis together: Colon Cancer Stage 4. Don and Charlaine were plunged into a swirling vortex of surgeries, cancer treatments, and then his untimely death.
Those who lose a spouse to a long-term illness face unique issues as they support their sweethearts and care for them. Eventually, they grieve their death while trying to find answers to these questions:
- Where was God in all of this?
- Why did this happen to God’s servants?
- How do I go on without the love of my life?
- How do I figure out Me when it’s no longer We?
- What now?
- Will I ever be able to find life and love again?
Are you a widow or widower facing life without your Sweetheart? You are not alone. Grab a cup of coffee and sit with Charlaine as she shares the various stages of grief through her story and how God shows up in even the grimmest of circumstances. Then work through yours with the Reflection sections at the end of each chapter.
Do you love a good Christian love story? Enjoy it and see how God works in believers’ lives amid tragedy while restoring hope.
