"UNKNOWN TOMORROWS"
This book is like no other. Catherine reaches out and hugs you while her words teach you the necessities of caring for a loved one who has a serious or fatal illness. She informs you about items that you may have thought about, and things that you did not even think would make such a monumental impact. If you are faced with this tragedy, and you want to give the best care to both your loved one and yourself - you must read this book. If you know someone who is the caregiver, it is your duty (as their friend) to give them this book. There are no words to comfort a friend that may be a caregiver (or you) as he/she endures what happens - but this book is the cushion to... More > soften the blow. I have never been in this situation, but after reading her words of wisdom, I learned the meaning of 'unconditional love.' It defines true friendship, courage, and strength. This book grabbed hold of my heart with the first few words, and has yet to let go. You MUST read this book if you want an experience that changes your life (and the life of your loved one) for the better. < Less

"Highly Recommended" As a writer, nurse, and a current cancer patient I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is a caregiver.-----Kit Wilson, Author of the newly releasd poetry book, Destiny Revealed.

"Unknown Tomorrows" UNKNOWN TOMORROWS is right for anyone trying to cope with an illness, as a caretaker or as a patient. It brings together lovingly in one book--the hopes, the fears, the highs and the lows as one struggles with a serious health problem, plus all the practical knowledge and spiritual faith necessary to overcome the disease. It’s obvious the author wants to lighten for others the task she took on as a caretaker. The poems will touch your hearts; I highly recommend this book.

Cathy has put into words what is so difficult to say: there comes a time when you must accept the fact that your loved one may not be with you much longer. Instead of lingering on the sadness and uncertainty of this difficult time, her book gives you the strength and wisdom to focus on what needs to be said and done. Her words are gentle but firm and she has included several beautifully written poems to accompany each chapter. Many have been waiting for a book like this, and finally Cathy has given it to them.

"Heartfelt truth" I've had three very dear family members pass away in the past 5 years, and I know the pain. The lighter side for me was, I was not there every minute of their deteriation. This book shares the amazing heart felt and heart wrenching truth of caring for a seriously ill loved one. Catherine Canning shares with us the high hopes and the moments of realization of the sad truth. This book would be a great gift to a person who is caring for a loved one with cancer or any kind of terminal disease. It has helped me realize the importance of touch, and how it is sometimes the only thing you need. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone, whether you are going through it with a dear one, or just walking through the bookstore someday. You never know what can happen, cancer or any kind of sickness can strike at any moment, this will help you through the ups and downs, and will also help with coping with the losses to come with an ill loved one in the future.
