About the Book
This book is a raw journey walked beside a loving spouse through a cancer diagnosis, treatment, and symptoms. The transition into a caregiver position without even having the option of applying for it. The emotions that ran high and the weight of it all on a young family. A therapeutic outlet of daily journaling turned into a voice of validation. This book was wrote in hopes that anyone else that finds themselves in a dark season in their journey of life that can not find the words to express their feelings and concerns can connect with the similarities of my journey and have validation of their feelings and thoughts. I have expressed the bumps and hardships on our journey as well as the blessings. I dug deep and searched for a daily practice that would serve me and those around me to offer hope and strength to conquer the day ahead. No one is immune to having human experiences. I have offered quotes and lyrics that helped me get through the toughest of times. I hope it helps you too.
