About
“A Beautiful, Life-Changing Instrument.” —Elizabeth Foss, founder, Take Up & Read
Living Memento Mori: My Journey Through the Stations of the Cross is my story of life with cystic fibrosis (CF), lung transplant, and God.
At the age of 11, I was diagnosed with CF, a fatal genetic disease. I received a double-lung transplant at the age of 23 that saved my life. And through all of this, my relationship with God was a constant.
In Living Memento Mori, I share the insight I’ve gained from living my life on the precipice of death: a willingness to embrace the Cross of Christ (as all Christians are called to do), and how this can transform us, giving us joy, hope, and peace, even with extreme suffering. The spine of the book is the stations of the cross, a Catholic devotion that takes us through His suffering and Death on Good Friday.
We might feel alone with out suffering. We might feel like God is punishing us.
But in every moment, at every moment, God is with us in our pain.
A life of suffering does not mean that your life is not good, worthy, and valuable.
