We
will all face a ‘dark night of the soul’ as life moves through
time; loss of a loved one, a terrible disease, natural disaster or
crisis will test your body, mind and spirit. For author Coy Cross II
his worst nightmare began as a cancer diagnosis. Not for himself, but
for the greatest love he found on earth, his wife Carol who
discovered in a medical exam she faced Ovarian Cancer and would need
immediate treatment or die.
“The
Dhance: A Caregiver’s Search For Meaning” is real-life experience
in becoming a caregiver when crisis threatens in your own life. Find
comfort, support and how important spiritual belief is when death
knocks on the door.
How
can you deal with this? For this Citrus Heights husband it was the
beginning of an epiphany, a moment of clarity in a journey he takes
readers along on as Carol fights for her life thru surgery,
chemotherapy and rehabilitation. When
she said, ‘I don't know how you can do this.’ My response
was, and it was a response from my core, ‘I have come to see it as
a privilege.’ In one moment two lives change forever. Are you
ready?
Coy
and Carol found hidden gifts in their challenges, ones they never
could have expected to find by eliminating the labels of “good and
bad” and focusing on being present for each other,” says Scott
Burr, KohoPono/Publisher.
Come
meet this Citrus Heights resident and former Beale Air Force Base
Historian, as he opens his heart after discovering the hard way. “I
want to share what I have learned,” Coy states “hopefully, before
someone is neck-deep in life’s hardest experiences or when they are
trying to make sense of it after it is over.”
Talk
with the author about discovery, education, acceptance, support,
scheduling and all the things that your ‘dark night of the soul’
will change forever in your life. Be prepared and know you are never
alone by reading “The Dhance”, published by Koho Pono Press, LLC.
