heartbreaking but so true Aug 17, 2006
By skyde_k
Lauri, I can't say enough to fully represent what I feel right now, after I just finished your book. I must admit that pretty much, along every page of your diary, I have cried. Your story is heartbreaking, and maybe it is because I was faced with similar situation. My husband of 4 months was diagnosed with brain cancer, and after two and half years of a battle, he died. The situations and feeling that you described were so true. I was with you when you held your husband's hand, and stood with a brave face. I was with you when for the first time you broke down and cried. I was with you when you were in disbelief. I was with you when you had to see your husband be wheeled out to yet another brain surgery. The strength and courage that you present are outstanding. The love and friendship that you and your husband hold, is extraordinary...
I could see myself and my husband in your story, although we were 26 and with no children, when he passed away, the pain was so real. I relived every situation all over, but at least I could somehow connect with my husband.
To all potential readers - this is a must read for all those who are faced with brain diseases. If you a spouse, a parent, a sibling, a child or a friend, it's good to know what really happens behind the closed doors. You might be needed... You should know how to deal with it.
Again, great book! Very easy to read, although I must say, keep Kleenex next to you. Hope everyone can find this book as interesting and rewarding as I did.

highly recommend May 23, 2008
By B. Crook
I gave this book to a friend of mine whose husband had a brain aneurysm and survived. My friend was so grateful to receive this book. She said it was much like what she went through. It was comforting to know she was not alone in dealing with the emotions, anger, frustration and confusion of such a life changing near death experience. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has dealt with a similar situation.

Lauri's Daughter May 15, 2007
By Danielle Athanas
"Danielle"
I'm the Danielle referenced in the book. I can say having lived through this at 11 years old, reading this book when it was finally published years later was one of the hardest things I have ever done.
You should all know that it's now 2007 and Steve - my mom's husband - will be giving me away at my wedding this year. It's so great that my stepdad was given a new lease on life and has been a wonderful dad to me, my brother Jimmy, and my two sisters Dawn and Becky. We are so grateful that God was able to be with us through that trying time.
If you're going through anything - please read this book. And know that my mom and our family are with you in spirit.
