Future Widow: Losing My Husband, Saving My Family, and Finding My Voice
(eBook)
How do I tell my kids-just nine and eleven-that the doctors can't fix their dad's cancer? How do I navigate eight months of caregiving, so my husband's terminal illness doesn't destroy the rest of us, too? Will my kids be "OK" someday? These are just some of the questions Jenny Lisk was asking herself when her forty-three-year-old husband, Dennis, was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. This health crisis turned her world inward and upside down and thrust her into a role she never expected-that of cancer caregiver. In between surgeries, ER visits, thousands of pills, and ultimately, hospice at home, Jenny kept her corner of the world updated through a CaringBridge online journal. In Future Widow, Jenny goes behind the scenes of her journey through those tumultuous and heartbreaking months. She reflects on the community who showed her how to be an ally in a crisis, her search for guides on how to parent grieving children, and the dual reality of having to choose-and getting to choose-what her future will look like. Through it all, she grapples with this fundamental question: Do I have what it takes to help my young family survive my husband's terminal illness?
