Coles Bedsores and Bliss: Finding fullness of life with a terminal diagnosis at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A vivid, heart-lifting and heart-breaking report from the teetering balance between devastation and joy. These short writings form a collage of Hanna du Plessis' experience through two years of life after receiving a terminal diagnosis of ALS. Hanna gives us rare insight into the details of her experience with a progressive disease while also earning a graduate degree in creative writing and traveling the world. These short essays are laced with sharp detail, surprising humor, and observations about how to live and die. We all experience endings, fadings, losses and deaths. Hanna helps us find grace in the mundane and wonder in the wreckage. Hanna's whimsical sketches make delightful companions to her vivid and often humorous language. It is rare to find these two things so well-forged together: an unflinching gaze into loss and an undaunted determination to fully experience life.
