Product Description
by Donna McCart Welser (Author)
"My life was broken and put back together in unexpected ways that made it multidimensional and extraordinary. Learning to live in the moment has not been easy. Rewriting the story continuously and consciously would not have happened without the brokenness."
Donna lived a typical suburban life as a working wife, and had her life under control and neatly planned out; or so she thought. Life took a sudden turn and she found herself caring for her husband as he battled a fatal form of cancer. Widowed and wading through her grief, Donna found her strength and resilience to move one step forward each day, through lessons learned in her own life.
Death isn't easy, nor is caregiving. Rue's Butterfly, a memoir by Donna Welser, provides a thoughtful story on the challenges of being a caregiver to a loved one, and dealing with the aftermath of losing them. Through thoughtful questions, personal reflection and the sharing of practical tools, Donna shows readers the importance of having hard discussions before they are needed, sustaining relationships, and finding time to build and live a bucket list.
When we spend so much time planning for tomorrow, we often forget to live in today. Rue's Butterfly reminds us to enjoy life as it happens while being prepared for what can happen.
