As I shared recently on my Sugar Shock Blog, my dear mother recently passed away, and in Mom’s Last Year, she taught me — and all of us — how to die with spirit and spunk.
While grieving and grateful, I’ve been writing a lot about My Bittersweet Last Year with Mom. I’m now writing a book with My Biggest Ahahs & Lessons from that tender and trying time so that I can help those of you, who are caregivers and family members of loved ones, who are difficult and dying.
After consulting with blog-to-book expert Nina Amir, author of How to Blog a Book, I decided to do something that I haven’t done for my last two books, Sugar Shock and Beyond Sugar Shock.
I will start blogging parts of my new book on this brand new blog, www.BittersweetYear.com.
In addition, you’ll be able to get to this new blog from other URLs, including www.DifficultAndDying.com and www.HealFromGrief.com, BittersweetGrowth.com and HappyButSad.com.
While I’ll share some of my poignant challenges on Bittersweet Year, the main focus of this new Bittersweet Year blog and my upcoming book will be to share My Biggeest Ahahs & Lessons, which can help you stand by your difficult, dying loved one.
In addition, I’ll be able to share some compelling bittersweet tales here, on this blog, which won’t fit into my new book.
Stay tuned for more information about my new “Bittersweet” book.
Please note that this blog is to help those of you, who are caregivers — either part-time or full-ime — and relatives of patients, who are difficult and dying.
On this blog, I also invite you to share ideas for what to include in my new book.
