Walking Mary Home: When Love and Cancer Collide

Bert and Mary dated in High School and were married three years later. True love was still to come. Bert lets us in on how for 37 years they built a growing love. Love didn't just survive. It thrived not on heroics, but on everyday things. Then she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. What happens when love and cancer collide? Where is God when it hurts? What good is prayer when God doesn't seem to answer? Why is May 30, 2012 so painful, but at the same time so blessed to Bert? What fo palliative treatments really mean? Do they hurt or help? What should we all know about cancer? When it's all over, what difference can a simple Bible verse make? Bert doesn't evade those questions. Instead he pulls back the curtain, and allows you in. You will weep, but you will also be challenged as you live through those questions with him. SomeSome of Bert's answers will surprise your. You might not like some of them. Bert continues to write. It is more than cathartic. Bert believes the way god reveals Himself during difficult times is a trust meant to be shared. We are meant to comfort others with the comfort we receive (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). Bert hopes his book Lamenting Mary will be ready to publish in 2014. In it he chronicles his journey through grief, as well as the place of lament in bringing healing to a wounded heart.
