that's my screen name, and also the name of the book I just finished, about my husband's seven-year battle with cancer. It started out when I tried to examine end of life issues, but it became more complicated than that, and soon became a memoir of our lives together, and what those last seven years were like. People asked me if it was depressing to write it, but it wasn't and I realized afterwards that in some strange way, those were really wonderful years for both of us. The book will be published June 5 of next year, and I am now making a Facebook page of some of the issues I encountered. That page is called The Cost of Hope (Amanda Bennett and Terence Foley) Feel free to "Like" it and join in the discussion.
