Author Mary Lou Mirante Shares Importance of Family Through Love, Loss and Support
Bloomingdale, Illinois (PRWEB) August 15, 2013 -- There is no particular method to prepare for dealing with a difficult diagnosis, especially when facing the uncertainties of cancer. Mary Lou Mirante understands this, and shares her experiences in her new memoir, With Death Before Us.
In With Death Before Us, Mary Lou Mirante details the personal journey of her family’s sorrow, strength and spirituality during her husband’s battle with cancer. With day-by-day – and even moment-by-moment – accounts, Mirante’s story details the experience of doctor visits, emotional ups and downs, and the need for strong family support.
Set in Elmhurst, Illinois, this memoir follows the family’s journey through multiple devastating diagnoses, twists and turns of battling the illness and the many miracles they witnessed. Mirante’s husband was diagnosed with lung cancer three years in a row during Christmas time, and the pain and uncertainty that followed required the family to rely on each other and spirituality for support.
“My hope is that our story will be able to help others cope with the struggles of cancer, loss and the unknown,” said Mirante. “During difficult times, everyone needs support, and it’s important to remember that miracles can happen.”
With Death Before Us highlights the importance of perseverance, a positive attitude, close family ties and deep spirituality.
