Synopsis Just To Make You Smile by : Sarah Caldwell

“My dad was going to die. My sweet, loving, caring, and wonderful-in-every-way dad was going to leave me before he could watch my sister and me grow up.” At the tender age of fifteen, Sarah Caldwell learned that her father had been diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and had only a short time left to live. In moments her life went from texting friends, going to gymnastics practice and family vacations by the sea to watching her father’s rapid, irreversible deterioration, a process that plunged her into deep depression. But Jim Caldwell was a man whose indomitable spirit in the face of his suffering provided the ultimate inspiration for Sarah to transform her depression into a journey of healing and love. She learned to accept her and her father’s fate and became determined not to waste a moment of the time she had left with him. When her father passed away, leaving Sarah to face life without her beloved dad, she was determined again to continue on the path of hope and strength, making sense of her loss and honoring his life by helping raise awareness of ALS and money for desperately-needed research for a cure. With a special foreword by former pro-football player Steve Gleason, Just To Make You Smile is the rare, honest, compassionate and bold account of a young adult’s process of watching a parent get ill and die, and the inspiration she hopes to impart by sharing her grieving process, deep inner growth and healing. By telling her story in its entirety, from the lowest depths of grief and depression to the heights of finding her inner strength, making a difference and carrying on her father’s fighting spirit, she hopes to touch the lives of others, especially kids with a sick parent, letting them know they are never alone on this difficult journey.

Synopsis The Best of the Worst News by : Norm MacIsaac

"'I was alone on that icy cold December day when I received my worst news in 2014... I went for that definitive test, and I wasn't the least bit prepared to be diagnosed with an incurable disease... I didn't know what to do with a prognosis of just a few years to live, growing more and more disabled until I could no longer move, swallow and, ultimately, breathe. I looked for a book that would guide me through this process. I wondered what to expect, how to share this news with colleagues, kith, and kin. Would I get angry? Sad? Depressed? How long would I remain in denial? But I never did find that book. Instead, I began writing it.' Norm MacIsaac writes in the opening of The Best of the Worst News. Written over several years as the disease progressed, the author explores living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease. This is a series of intertwined autobiographical tales set in over a dozen different countries spanning nearly half a century. It's not about the disease, but the emotional and psychological journey that accompanies such an earth-shattering diagnosis. Travel with him around the world and back in time as he tells stories of the people and places that inspired him to defy this incurable, degenerative disease, to embrace a positive perspective and live every day to the fullest."--
