A Time to Live: Living with a Life Threatening Illness

When a person receives the diagnosis of a life threatening illness, life as they know it ceases; never to return again. They find themselves in uncharted territory having no guidelines to follow. Often they go home, sit down in their favorite recliner, and they might as well have died that moment. They stop living! All activity becomes centered on their disease and treatment. Fear and uncertainty replaces confidence and self-identity. A Time To Live is a booklet appropriate for anyone who is faced with the unpredictability of their future due to a life threatening illness. A Time To Live offers guidance for living! It addresses issues everyone would do well to ponder and then goes a step further to explain comfort control, nutrition and sleep as it relates to a serious illness. It is written in the same short, direct yet gentle manner as the companion booklets, Gone From My Sight, My Friend, I Care, and The Eleventh Hour. A Time To Live is handout literature for the newly diagnosed with a poor prognosis and the palliative care patient.
