Product Description
by Susan Angel Miller (Author)
In Permission to Thrive, Susan Angel Miller traces her extraordinary journey, which begins when her healthy fourteen-year-old daughter dies suddenly from a brain tumor and the family's decision--on the worst day of their lives--to donate Laura's organs, saving the life of a woman with whom the Miller family would eventually cultivate an exceptional relationship. This intensely personal story addresses the unnerving and universal topics of death, illness, and trauma while conveying a hopeful message: life-changing tragedies might be impossible to prevent or predict, but it is the response to these adversities which influences the extent and likelihood of post-traumatic emotional growth. This memorable book speaks to anyone who fears when that next bad event will occur and wonders how they will respond. This memoir reveals the human ability to grieve, survive, and eventually thrive.
