Words in a Journey of Care

by Lynn M. Butterbrodt, who will lead the discussion is from Clarence, IA.

Butterbrodt’s husband, Ross, was diagnosed with cancer twice in his life. The first time was as a two-year-old child and the second time was in 2010, a mere three months before he died.  Far from offering pat answers or platitudes about cancer or the afterlife, the author invites readers to wrestle with the beautiful, terrible realities of life and death, and to find strength and hope in the knowledge that we are never alone in our journeys.
