Two Mothers, One Prayer: Facing your Child's Cancer with Hope, Strength and Courage
"Celeste has to have emergency neuro [brain] surgery tonight."
How do you cope when you have just been told your daughter has a tumour and she doesn't know about it? How do you put on a calm face for your precious child? You just do.
I was emotionally exhausted before I even stepped into her room, yet adrenaline and focusing on what needed to be done kept me marching on. Armed with her Pooh Bear, blanket, and Winnie the Pooh movie, Celeste waited for her surgery. Now, looking back, I don't know how I was so strong to watch them take her away, my baby girl. Little did I know that 500 miles away another family was going through similar experiences and we would become each other's life lines through our most difficult days that lay ahead.
Laura and Laurie share their story of
Friendship and inspiration
Struggles and miracles
Joy and sadness
Love and loss
Their narrative provides a sense of hope and teaches us how to find needed strength and courage. It is a guide and support to any parents faltering under weight of the horrendous news that their precious child has been diagnosed with a life threatening illness. It reminds us all of the fragility of life, the necessity to remain present in each moment, and how to find perspective in even our darkest hours.
"Heartfelt and moving, this is a book that brings tears, hope, and the presence of beauty and God to the surface of each of us. These two connected families demonstrated the power of community and the inner strength, courage and hope we all can tap into, when and if needed" Dr. Carrie Rongits, ND Fonthill Naturopathic Clinic
"Two Mothers, One Prayer - two moms' moving accounts of their families' childhood cancer journeys told with honesty, love, humour and respect via their shared emails makes for compelling reading." - Susan Kuczynski, OPACC Parent Liaison
