The shrill, unexpected ring of the telephone shattered the silence of a lovely summer morning. It also changed Nancy Magargle's life forever. As she learned that her beloved eighteen-year-old daughter was clinging to life in a hospital, mortally injured in a horrific automobile accident, Nancy's world crumbled. Little did she know that her nightmare had only begun. Nor could she imagine how the gut-wrenching decision to eventually withdraw her daughter's life support would challenge--and ultimately strengthen--her faith. "A Time to Die, A Time to Live--Making and Moving Beyond End-of-Life-Decisions" (Carpenter's Son Publishing--April 2017) is Nancy's story of loss, hope and redemption after her daughter's death drove her into deep spiritual crisis. Mired in self-doubt and grief, she questioned how God could ever love her after she had made such and agonizing decision. Her guilt was compounded by a lack of compassion and support--even withering judgment--from some in her circles of faith and friends. A piercing letter she received from an internationally recognized spiritual leader further deepened her torment, paralyzing her very soul. But she persevered in her search for meaning--even renewed faith--in the face of unimaginable despair. Poignant and uplifting, "A Time to Die, A time to Live" provides a lifeline to anyone gripped in the relentless cycle of grief, guilt and loss. The book also offers a series of real-life coping strategies at the end of each chapter...valuable lessons learned on Nancy's hard-won journey to redemption, understanding and grace.
