Description
"Martha Burner and her husband Mike have been happily married for thirty-six years. Suddenly his behavior undergoes serious changes. After examination and tests his doctor diagnoses a cancerous brain tumor. Martha is desperate to preserve Mike's life, but in the end she loses that battle. Her grief is enormous. At the same time she fears something she cannot remember, that she may have unconsciously assisted in ending his pain and with it his life. She struggles to recover from grief, loss and her uncertain memory while family and friends try to comfort her. It is an arduous journey, but what she endures may lead others who suffer the loss of a loved one to eventually forge a new and purpose driven phase of life"--Page 4 of cover
