description: Cancer will strike one in four Americans. Whether it reaches us as individuals or afflicts a loved one or friend, this book provides a valuable source of information and inspiration. Through their personal reflections, you'll experience the impact cancer brought to the Warders, their friends and family. Fred Warder (1932-1972) describes in medical detail the ravages of cancer as it systematically destroys his body. Anne, as wife, mother and caregiver, tells of the trials she and her loved ones face along the way; then, some thirty years later, she is able to reflect on the reality that "nothing, not even death, can end this love." In the Preface to "Love Never Dies," the Rev. Patrick Thyne "At the center of this story are two people who love and trust each other, and whose love and trust are tested, stretched, and ultimately deepened by their ordeal. Fred’s wit and courage are evident even through a series of disfiguring facial surgeries and what he recognized might be a slow, painful descent toward death. Anne organizes his world and their children's, runs interference with medical bureaucracies and awkward friends, and finally lets herself touch even the disfiguring wounds of this man she knows she is losing. What’s remarkable to discover again, page by page, is the candor and detail with which each of them writes; about horrible and silly moments; about the next disappointment and another rush of hope; about doctors who work tirelessly and friends who don't call, don't want to see or hear the truth that Fred and Anne are living with. It’s all here." When Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, groundbreaking author of "On Death and Dying," read the original manuscript in 1972, she urged its publication as a book.
