When a PR specialist, Marcia,
gets diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and finds out she’s at the
terminal stage, she and her husband are undeterred in their faith, and
they brave out all medical procedures hospitals have to offer. During the
process, their strength in love is renewed in the face of
a truly trying situation. They deploy a non-conventional approach to
the process of battling cancer and develop a realistic but
clear perspective regarding the importance of life, which
is greater than the circumstances they face.
Even as she
faces severe pain and has bouts of unfortunate news when the chemotherapy does
not seem to be working, this couple finds strength in forming inner peace
within themselves and a level of realistic conviction that helps them through
their journey. The Smooth River: Finding Inspiration and Exquisite
Beauty during Terminal Illness. Lessons from the Front Line by Richard
S. Cohen is a beautiful and personal retelling of the wife of the author’s
battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. This book is a memoir and support for
cancer patients and those dear to them as it deals with finding peace in the
worst of hardships. Readers will observe the power of their love as they
maintain their generosity, humor, and gratitude for life. Richard S. Cohen writes
the account with careful attention to detail and direct yet gentle language to
provide an important practical guide for others. The voice is compassionate,
compelling, and irresistible.
This is a
deeply moving narrative that will keep you in awe of how the distressed couple
made the conscious choice of experiencing life as a smooth river, constantly in
motion, without disruptions, and going with the flow. Mortality is a
reality and loss is inevitable; this book teaches readers to be
courageous, open to change, and shun notions of society's
expectations in order to forge themselves through the rough seasons that
befall the human soul, many times too often. While this is the story of a
couple’s journey through terminal illness, it is a powerful testament of love and
a compelling statement that there is more beyond life than we can dare
imagine.
