Two Become One

Two Become One

by R. Lodge (Author), B. Swinyard (Author)

Synopsis

What do you do when your entire world falls apart and the doctors tell you that you are going to die?
This inspirational book draws together many of the fundamental questions of humanity that face us all, at one time or another. What is the meaning of my life? How can I go on? Why is this happening to me? The fusion of poetry and images in this beautiful book addresses all aspects of being human in a loving, gentle manner. It focuses on life, love, dignity and the search for truth and meaning. It speaks of life's rich journey and lives well lived, with the added poignancy and acute observation granted to people facing terminal illness themselves.

Distilled from the combined experience of observing and caring for people at times of great joy, distress or hurt in their lives, this book offers hope and guidance to those in need, to those who are lost or for whom life has lost its meaning. This is a celebration of that journey.

Half the proceeds from the sale of this book will be shared equally between the Motor Neurone Disease Association and Sarcoma UK to help support their magnificent work in raising the awareness of both devastating diseases and their untiring efforts to fund research into treatments and cures.
