From the Belly of Jonah's Whale

About the Book

This is a manuscript about death, the transformation in dealing with the death of others or the change in one’s health that may lead to death. I worked as a Registered Nurse for over 24 years. People died around me but I hoped to give them spiritual support and guidance. In 1993, I was diagnosed with cancer and have been struggling with it and treatment. At this moment, I am cancer free with the help of prayers, faith, good medical care and medication that I will need to continue for a long time. In a way this is my story.
