I wrote this manuscript to document my brain tumor discovery and decision making process, a journey spanning approximately twelve months, leading up to my final chosen method of treatment. Although my tumor was most likely benign, it was in a very serious location, sitting on top of my optic nerves, and was causing me to lose my eyesight. I had to make a decision.

Some of the chapters are humorous, some rather poignant, and some include a lot of medical details. My whole point was to let readers know what that long and involved investigative process was like. I include some self-coaching strategies, helpful resources, and lots of email exchanges with friends, family and doctors. May all who read this find something in its chapters that resonates with your head and heart.

Julie Saeger Nierenberg is a freelance writer, lifelong educator and artist. Inspired by the experience of her father's dying and death, Julie published a short memoir about her family's grief and loss. Daddy, this is it. Being-with My Dying Dad launched a true journey of connection and transformation, as Julie reached out to share it with those who assist the dying and bereaved. Following that memoir's publication, Julie received numerous end-of life stories from others. Some of these are available in Journey's End: Death, Dying and the End of Life, the 2017 anthology of over 50 perspectives on the topic. Writing and publishing in this heart-led direction, Julie hopes to contribute to a cultural shift in how we prepare and support others in the final chapter of life. Julie now helps to facilitate others in choosing and documenting their end-of-life plans using the Before I Go Solutions method.
