Share Her Journey to Help One of Her Children With Her Diagnosis and Keep the Rest of The Family Together Through Her Virtual Blog Tour
Susan Avitzour’s daughter received a devastating diagnosis from her doctor at a young age. Obviously this flipped the lives of the entire family upside down. Many people discover how therapeutic writing and journaling can be – that is one of the things Avitzour did to handle her daughter’s illness and the changed in her family. Those journals recounted the journey her family was on and those journals have now been released as her new book And Twice the Marrow of Her Bones.
About And Twice the Marrow of Her Bones
In 2001, Susan Avitzour lost her eighteen-year-old daughter Timora to leukemia, after a six-year struggle. In her memoir, And Twice the Marrow of Her Bones, she grapples with many of the profound personal, philosophical, and spiritual questions with which bereaved parents struggle for years – if not for the rest of their lives. Using narrative, poetry, and a journal, she draws us deeply into her family’s world during the “long, wrong years” of her daughter’s illness, and into her own emotional, intellectual, and spiritual journey in their aftermath. She addresses topics that range from food to fun to forgiveness, from pain to purpose to prayer – and ultimately to the challenge of affirming faith and love in an unpredictable, and often cruel, universe. In doing so, she has created a book that will offer invaluable assistance and support not only to bereaved families, but to anyone faced with life’s inevitable challenges and trials.
