| Summary |
"Amid the many obstacles she and her husband, Michael, face after his diagnosis with a chronic illness, Suzanne Marriott learns to be a compassionate caregiver both for him and, ultimately, for herself. Through love, psychological insights, and spiritual inquiry, she cultivates her abilities--and gains the courage to confront a medical system that often saves her husband but at other times threatens his life. Despite Michael's many hospitalizations, he makes miraculous recoveries that allow fun and adventure back into their lives, including a numinous experience with dragonflies. When Suzanne faces her own medical crisis, their world is once again shaken--yet throughout it all, love is their bond, one even death cannot sever. Candid and illuminating, Marriotts's story of growth through caregiving will appeal to anyone faceing a life-changing crisis." Page 4 of cover. |
