Living Fully & Letting Go

Receiving a serious medical diagnosis is often considered one of the most difficult things a person can go through, causing feelings of fear, worry, anger, and sadness. In her book, Leaves Falling Gently: Living Fully with Serious & Life-Limiting Illness Through Mindfulness, Compassion & Connectedness, Susan Bauer-Wu offers practical guidance to enhance your life and effectively cope with the challenges of living with illness. This book is inviting, inspiring, and easy to read. It describes how mindfulness and compassion practices can bring greater acceptance, peace of mind, joy, and meaning to your life every day.
