Each life has its story

Produktbeschreibung

"Malignant cancer" and "aggressive", these were the words none of us had wanted to hear. We had expected anything but this. All of a sudden, we were confronted with a seemingly hopeless situation, and it required decisions. Determined to start fighting back against the cancer, my father asked me to accompany him on this final stretch of his journey. Without any experience regarding which task lay ahead, which challenges would present themselves, and which painful decisions would ultimately have to be made, I accepted his request – "and I gave him my word." A very emotional book about fears and desperation, about confidence and hope. With a lot of sensitivity and almost infinite sympathy, this story provides an insight into the life of a cancer patient and the feelings of the people by his side. It quickly becomes clear that every period in life is also a part of one's own story.

Autorenporträt

Rainer Stoerring was born in 1966 in Frankfurt am Main. After a sabbatical year in the USA, he was confronted with this father's cancer. Rather than resuming his career as a banker, he embraced the opportunity to support his parents. Owing to his experiences during that time, today, in addition to his mandate on the Board of Directors of the Katharina-Stumpf-Stiftung, he works in a voluntary capacity for a variety of charitable and humanistic institutions and organizations.
