Genre : Biography & Autobiography
Summary : As an expert in chronic illness, author Pamala D. Larsen thought she understood what her patients and families with chronic illness were experiencing. When her husband, Randy, was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, however, she realized how little she knew. In Finding a Way through Cancer, Dying, and Widowhood: A Memoir, she presents her journal of dealing with her husband’s cancer—from the first day of diagnosis, through eighteen months of illness, hospice care, his death, and her first long year of widowhood. Providing an honest view of those experiences, Larsen shares thoughts that many people have, but few express. This memoir tells the real story of the pain experienced as a family of caregivers watches the downhill course of a loved one suffering from cancer. This memoir shares insights and asks difficult questions, telling a common, ordinary story that is acted out every day by thousands of people. It serves to communicate that grief is not an easy road; each survivor must find his or her own answers and path to recovery.

Genre : Biography & Autobiography
Summary : Sitting in her car after work waiting to pick up her children, a thought pierced author Caroline Bernardis brain: I think Ive got cancer. It had no reason to invade her thoughts. Where the hell did that come from? With no symptoms other than knowing, she visited three different doctors and over various appointments, they assured Caroline she was well; she thought she was going mad. She dared not tell any of her friends because she was the capable one, the rock, the shoulder to cry on as Caroline had needed to be since the age of ten. Six months after this intrusive thought, she was diagnosed with at least stage IIIB inoperable lung cancer and was given less than a 5% chance of survival. The methodical, logical and confident woman vanished and the impact of the news brought Caroline to her knees. Faith Trust Gratitude and Cancer shares how this wife and mother of two, embraced the medical, mind, body and spirit. Being true to herself, Caroline found her own path and used it to navigate her way through one of lifes most ferocious storms. This is not a story about what to do when you have cancer, its about finding your own truth and your own way through the pain that illness and emotion can bring. This is a guide book that we can all benefit from in difficult times. Let it help you to be aware of mind, body, and spirit.
