Coming to Life

ebook

An inspiring story of one man's struggle to come to terms with a life cut short by disease.

Five years ago, at the age of forty, David Mackenzie was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. At the time of this shocking discovery he was a happily married man with three young children, and financially secure as a partner in an accounting firm. He had rarely been ill.

This is his story of life with MND. As the months and years have gone by he has found that rather than embarking on a journey toward death, he has awakened to life in a new and profound way. His existence has been paradoxically deepened and enriched even as he and his family travel with the fear and uncertainty that surrounds his disease and failing health.

Ultimately, in the midst of the grief of this appalling disease, David and his family have come to a new understanding about life and what the future holds. David's life is not about dying, it's about a new coming to life.
