Summary:
When we lose our physical health, it can seem like weve lost our life. Toni Bernhard, with unflinching realness and deep insight, shows us how the fires of loss can clear the way for a new and profound capacity for appreciation, love, and understanding. This book can bring you more fully alive by healing your spirit.Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance
Toni shows how her longtime study and meditation practice in the Buddhist tradition help her accommodate her situation with gentle acceptance and compassion. The techniques that Toni presents for working with ones mind in the distressed states it finds itself when facing an uncomfortable and unchanging truth are basic Buddhist insights and meditation practices[that] will work for anyone.From the Foreword by Sylvia Boorstein
'Beautiful, heartfelt, and immensely courageous.'Sharon Salzberg
