Your story is extremely compelling. I think you are doing the right thing to get it published. It is really several stories in one: an account of your mother's illness from diagnosis to her homegoing, an account of your spiritual growth, and an account of your growing/changing relationship with your loved ones (sister, brothers, husband and sons). Your story shows your spiritual growth. Your mother's illness grew you closer to God, rather than farther from Him. Isn't that an amazing blessing? Who else could keep you from falling? When you were right at the edge of a literal cliff, who picked you up? -Linda Lewis, a long time friend
