As a free-spirited, independent woman, Bronnie Ware was used to donning a variety of hats: singer, songwriter, author, speaker, traveler, and adventurer. And as her soul would have it in her mid-forties, she felt the urge to add one more, mother.
Ware, author of "The Top Five Regrets of the Dying," had learned many lessons as a palliative care giver, and she began to absorb even more from the opposite end of the spectrum as a giver of life. Only a few moments into motherhood, however, Ware s body had a different idea when chronic crippling pain from an auto-immune disease took hold.
In this inspiring memoir, Ware reminds us that whether life s lessons arrive through illness, trauma, or any other unexpected upheaval, life really does love us. By finding the courage to confront her upper limits, surrender to life s blessings, and have gratitude every step of the way, Ware discovered how to bloom in a field of formidable challenges."
