The Path That Shines: A Story of Life, Love, and Loss

My late wife Bonnie suffered from a dozen medical conditions so serious that they required specialists of whom you would not want to meet one, let alone a dozen. Her last year was marked by a level of pain and agony that was gut-wrenching for her family, friends, and caregivers to live through and witness. Yet, through this time, Bonnie remained remarkably upbeat and strong, doing her best to mother our daughter and always thinking of others, following a spiritual path that truly shined. She left a legacy of faith, love, strength, humor, and spirit that transcended her suffering in life, leaving an example for many. This book is a memoir of that strength and a guide for dealing with complex medical conditions and the associated struggle. People who find this story compelling range from those suffering their own serious struggles in life, to medical doctors and students, therapists, pastors, and anyone looking for hope and blessing in the face of the very worst a human body can endure.
