Each tragedy is unique. Yet, there are common threads that run through the process of accepting and coping with the death of a loved one. When her thirty-two-year-old daughter, Tamar, was diagnosed with a rare and relentless terminal cancer, Eva Friedner faced a heart-wrenching ordeal and wondered how she, herself, could endure. In the year that followed, she experienced the all-consuming ebb and flow of caretaking and engaging with her beloved, adult daughter. In this introspective memoir, she processes the psychological, emotional, spiritual, and practical aspects of dealing with a loved one's illness and emerges into her own profound healing. She hopes that this brutally honest and deeply loving account of her journey will benefit others.
