Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 110 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: B�cher | When Karen was first diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease), we could not accept or believe it. The cruelty, the pain, and the prospect of a future without Karen did not fit into the plans we had made. When all of life seems as it should be, and then we are faced with the news it will all come crashing down, what can we do? We adjust. We adapt.

Synopsis

When Karen was first diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease), we could not accept or believe it. The cruelty, the pain, and the prospect of a future without Karen did not fit into the plans we had made.

When all of life seems as it should be, and then we are faced with the news it will all come crashing down, what can we do? We adjust. We adapt. We find ways to live that were not part of the original plan. At least, in my experience as a builder, that is what we try to do.

I can usually fix things. But this...

This diagnosis of a life-altering, and ultimately deadly disease, threw us into a new world of doctors and adaptations and constant care. But Karen was still Karen. And I was still me. We were still us, and we found ways to live for the time we had left. This memoir recounts the good times in our relationship, the progression of her ALS, and the process of my own healing.

When your spouse has a terminal illness, the grieving begins quickly. It ebbs and flows along the way. But there is also opportunity to delight in moments we might have missed.

Caring for a spouse focuses everything around the person and the illness. Stepping back into everyday life can be like stepping out of the grave yourself. Still, in my grief, I discovered the gentle grace of God, who met me on the journey back to life, and who had been there, with us, all along.

The heart of this book speaks to those who grieve loss in an intimate relationship. You may be in the long process of grief for a spouse with a terminal illness, or navigating the sudden loss of that dearest part of your own heart. But the story does not end there. The faithfulness of God, His presence with us along the way, and the new beginnings that follow are all a part of this story, which is ultimately about hope.

Store Description

Seit �ber 30 Jahren handeln wir mit B�chern. Begonnen hat alles als kleiner Fachbuchhandel in Berlin. Heute sind wir spezialisiert auf den An- und Verkauf gebrauchter B�cher. Noch immer liegt unser Fokus dabei auf den Kategorien: Fachbuch und englischsprachige Literatur. Hinzu kommen B�cher aus allen anderen Genres, wie Belletristik, Biografien oder Kinderb�cher. Unser oberstes Ziel ist dabei die Weiterverwendung von Dingen und die Schonung von Ressourcen. Neben dem Ankauf von privaten B�chern oder Haushaltsaufl�sungen kaufen wir bundesweit komplette Bibliotheken und Buchbest�nde von Institutionen auf, um diese nachhaltig ein weiteres Mal auf den Markt zu bringen. Parallel dazu bietet Buchpark die M�glichkeit, gro�e Mengen einzulagern. Ganze Bibliotheken und umfangreiche Buchbest�nde werden von uns professionell auf Qualit�tsmerkmale hin untersucht und sorgf�ltig f�r den Onlinehandel aufbereitet. Wir schenken B�chern ein zweites Leben.
