The Unwinding of the Miracle: A Memoir of Life, Death, and Everything That Comes After
by Julie Yip-Williams
Wow. Yip-Williams is a beautiful writer who is so smart, reflects deeply, and who candidly shares the many heartbreaking aspects of facing her own imminent death from metastatic colorectal cancer. This account serves as her powerful farewell to her family but also holds meaning for anyone considering the way they live and how they might choose to face their own mortality.
The details of Yip-Williams’s childhood and the obstacles she overcame to simply be alive as an adult to face this terrible reality are incredible. But she is truly amazing in the way she honestly recounts her fury and panic, the excruciating treatments and effects, her exhaustive search for new life-extending options, and her reckoning with the realization that at some point desperate hope for survival must transform somehow into an effort for grace in dying and making plans for leaving loved ones behind. ❤️
