The book is entitled “Grateful Moments – A Journey with Mom<\/a><\/strong>“. I am releasing the book now, in honor of Mother’s Day<\/strong> and I am donating 50% of the royalties<\/strong> I receive for the first 6 months of publication to the American Cancer Society<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grateful Moments – A Journey with Mom<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sixteen years ago, my mom had a tough battle with a rare form of cancer in her final year of life. I devoted a lot of time helping her, and with me being a writer, I created a blog, as a way of journaling about the experience, the good moments, the hard moments, and some of the lessons learned. Many people said I should publish what I wrote into a book, because they related so much to the insights I shared, seeing a bit of their own experience in caring for an aging parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blog no longer exists, but I finally took the time to transform what I wrote into this new book<\/a>.<\/strong> It is a very transparent and intimate account of the pain, struggles, sorrow, faith, fear, and yet moments of gratitude I experienced in those last months of my mom\u2019s life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I say in the book:
“Grief is another form of love. It is what love looks like after someone you love dies. It is a moment. It is a season. It is a state of being. It is life under a dark cloud, trusting that one day the sun will shine again. This book is my personal journey through grief and loss, sharing some lessons learned and an affirmation of the importance of living with a sense of gratitude for the life you are experiencing right now. Even in the challenging times, find the beauty in the moments you are given.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
