"What do you do when you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a serious illness? How do you even begin to cope?

Using The Way of the Cross as a framework for their love story, Michelle shares her heartbreakingly beautiful eight-year caregiving journey with her husband Stu. Before being called Home, Stu suffered three bouts of cancer, amputation of his leg up to the hip, and became a quadriplegic. If you need practical, down-to-earth advice for helping your loved one carry their cross, it's in this award-winning book. If you're struggling to keep the faith during this difficult journey, this first-hand account of a real life couple's drama can help. As hard as it was, this journey deepened Michelle and Stu's love for each other, and it can do the same for you. If you are currently standing at the foot of the Cross, this story shows that you do not need to be afraid. Because if you let Him, ""the One who loves you more than you love yourself"" will accompany you, and at times will even carry you, as you begin your own journey, Walking the Way of the Cross."

Michelle Laque Johnson was married to Stuart Johnson for 35 years, before he died of cancer. Stu suffered through three bouts of cancer over eight years, had his leg amputated up to the hip, and became a quadriplegic. For all but the last few months, when she could not lift him, Michelle was his sole caregiver even as she worked a full-time job. In addition to her husband, Michelle has also experienced the sudden death of her father and her beloved sister's death from cancer, and assisted with the caregiving of her 93-year-old mother, who experienced both physical and mental challenges before her death.
