Miraculously, she's lived four years with her diagnosis, and that life between life has changed her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through the swirl of prolonged trauma and unbearable grief, a vantage point emerged--a window that showed her the way to relish life and be kinder to herself and others while living through the inevitable loss and heartbreak that crosses everyone's paths. Instead of viewing joy and sorrow as opposites, she saw how both exist in harmony, full of mystery and surprise. Instead of seeing days as succeeding \u003ci\u003eor\u003c\/i\u003e failing, and physical selves as healthy \u003ci\u003eor\u003c\/i\u003e unwell, she's learned to carry both achievements \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e afflictions in stride. And instead of bitterness and betrayal, forgiveness--toward her body, toward others, toward herself--became her wisest light. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Mapping her experiences to the words that St. Paul wrote in his own last room\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Brave In-Between\u003c\/i\u003e is a sacred invitation to explore that space between triumph and tragedy. We all have a heart to marvel at miracles, a lightness to spot the absurdity, and an imagination to pause and extend empathy for others--even when tragedy strikes. Sometimes we just need a guide.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmy Low\u003c\/b\u003e has been a storyteller all her life. She grew up in and continues to live life through parables and metaphors.
