| Summary |
Most people realize life will not necessarily go as they planned. But what do we do when nothing goes as we had even hoped? How do we cope with unpredictable changes to our bodies and spirits - changes that require constant shifting of our view of ourselves, other people, and the world? Jenni Berebitsky, diagnosed in 2009 with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease), has been answering these questions every day. With the hope of helping others move forward after life-altering events, Jenni shares her story of life with ALS, outlining the practical and existential changes needed to adapt and thrive. Embodying the idea that courage does not always roar, Jenni reveals the combination of self-reflection, radical acceptance, grit , and social support that have allowed her to remain true to herself and live to the fullest. |
