Produktbeschreibung

It's easy to get hooked on Sharon Lamhut Willen's no-holds-barred story. Skillfully told vignettes take readers careening with her and her husband on the roller coaster ride they took as she battled end-stage cirrhosis and, in the process of saving her life, redirected their perspective and repaired their relationship.

Imagine going from having dreams of career success to having nightmares of floods and destruction, from planning a cruise through the Galapagos to carrying toilet cushions into public bathrooms.Then imagine the road back, going from measuring every morsel of food that crosses your lips to eating croissants and chocolate pudding with abandon, from being caught in the web of co-addiction to being a fulfilled partner in a truly healthy relationship. Sharon Lamhut Willen went through all this and moreperhaps the worst midlife crisis ever.

The insights Willen offers on coping with terminal disease and the process of organ donation will be immensely helpful to would-be transplant recipients. Her generously shared personal reflections reveal the intelligence and humor she brought to bear while nurturing connections with the "angel guides" she credits with saving her life. Together, these serve as powerful models for anyone facing life's challenges and transitions.

Autorenporträt

Before my life-altering illness, I would identify myself by titles describing what I did: an educator, human resource development consultant, life coach, community builder, writer, and environmentalist. None of these speaks to the essence of what is important to me now.

Today I am revitalized and retired to a life of joy, creativity, and community service. I live in The Great Smoky Mountains with my most amazing husband, Michael, and our dog, Chelsea, who is the real Mistress of the Manor.
~Sharon Willen, Transplant Recipient, November 20, 2006
