Casualties of Life

About the Book

The title story details the author’s experiences from birth through childhood and on into adulthood and of coming to terms with the vagaries of life and the human condition in its myriad manifestations. The world of the author unfolds as she journeys from home to embark on her nursing career as she shares her experiences with fractured relationships; sickness and health; with love and loss; and finally with death and dying and the grieving process—and the realization that communication with loved ones continues even beyond the grave.
