The Courage to Die with the Spirit to Live

<p>To those whose lives have been touched by cancer <strong><em>The Courage to Die with the Spirit to Live</em></strong> tells of one man's journey from his diagnosis to his final 30 days.</p><p>In June 2011 my late husband Craig Sanders was diagnosed with non-small cell squamous lung cancer. Writing this book keeps the promise I made to Craig when he learned his battle with lung cancer was coming to an end and he was transitioning to his next phase of life.</p><p>During this time he lived his life to the fullest in spite of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. He went on two cruises flew a plane went fishing crabbing and was able to keep his sense of humor. He gave us strength and left an indelible impact in our hearts and minds.</p><p>The book depicts the various phases of Craig's year-and-a-half battle with cancer. He loved helping people and knew that as I penned his journey with this disease he would be helping others as well as myself.</p><p>We don't always know what paths our life will take. Often when something catastrophic does occur we're caught off-guard. Had it not been for our support system of family friends and our faith the journey would have been impossible. We honor and salute you and I know that Craig will always be just a prayer away from us all.</p><p>Glenora Wells-Sanders is the director of social services for Genesis Healthcare and a certified dementia practitioner.
