Gratitude in the Storm: When Not Dying Is Enough to Keep Fighting (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798439904471)

When you get a cancer diagnosis, you feel like you've been thrust into the center of a fierce storm. Your emotions run a wild gamut and it can feel overwhelming. Everyone tells you to focus on gratitude, but how can you do that when you've just learned you have to fight for your life?

This is the heart-hitting unfolding of author Margo Wickersham's not-so-excellent adventure through cancer, chemo, and chaos, and how she endured a year that left her body and her world changed forever. With wit, humility, emotion, and raw honesty, Margo shares how to grasp any amount of gratitude and use it to survive whatever life hurls at you. You don't have to feel strong or brave or grateful; you just have to hang on. Not dying in this moment is enough to keep fighting.

There's no guarantee that life won't dish out unrelenting blows in quick succession. Author Margo Wickersham's life-threatening cancer diagnosis and treatment, her aging mother's rapid decline, several back-to-back losses, and the turbulent ups and downs of a demanding job left her dangerously close to empty-all during an unprecedented year.
What do you do when life pulls you in all directions at once? Somehow, some way, you muster the resolve to keep moving forward, one tiny, granular step at a time. No super hero cape required.
