A marriage well lived and a parting lovingly recorded in real time--that is the story of Lois and Marv's long and eventful life together. Retrospective memoirs often gloss over the hard parts, but Lois shares the struggles of honoring her husband's wishes to bypass futile treatment and watching the man she loves succumb to terminal cancer. This is a book that honors life even in the face of death., The story Lois Roelofs tells in this memoir of her husband's death is universal; after all, everyone's life ends. Still, no two stories are alike, and Roelofs' particulars are very much her own and their own. That she is a nurse means she follows his suffering thoughtfully, in ways few others can. Then again, their fifty-five years of marriage means her heart, her love, is also ever engaged. But the strengths of their souls, their mutual faith, provides the power that sees them both through. Her vigil will wear you out, but its exactness of her conviction will strengthen you for all of our journeys., Lois Roelofs has the heart of a healer, the soul of an artist, the voice of a balladeer. Her memoir is utterly rapturous--a long, sad, rejoicing, engrossing love story and a gift to all of us., Marv Taking Charge: A Story of Bold Love and Courage is a notable memoir of Lois and Marv Roelofs as they travel the difficult "adventure" (as termed by Lois) from the diagnosis of a very aggressive form of lung cancer to Marv's death. Marv was midwifed from this life into life after--paraclete, the coming alongside of--by Lois, family, friends (far and near), and the home hospice team. Marv, Lois, and immediate family were sustained by their faith in God, developed over the many years of these relationships. This memoir serves as a guide for others to navigate the adventure from life into life after on their own terms--a valuable companion., A heart-wrenching story with lessons for family and professional caregivers on how to navigate the rocky road of terminal cancer. The words, "talk to my wife; she's a nurse" resonated with me, as does the rest of the book, since I lived the same experience: a nurse, yet a family member caring for my husband who had an untreatable cancer. Like Lois and Marv, my late husband and I counted on the support of friends and family and our hospice providers to help us get through the rough times. An important lesson both for families and healthcare providers is the importance of signing on to hospice early to benefit from all the help they provide., As a counselor, I think Lois Roelofs is one of the best writers who delves deep into her personal experience to offer support and encouragement to readers going through difficult transitions and grieving., Lois Roelofs' husband wanted to die at home. This is a remarkable and inspirational story of a wife and family's commitment to honor Marv's wish. With the compassionate support of hospice staff, Lois and her family summoned the inner strength and grace to care for Marv at home until the end of his life. Hospice was the "lifeline" that provided ongoing comfort and reassurance for Marv, and especially for Lois as wife/nurse/caregiver.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
