Ideas on Living Life

The loss of a child, well I just cannot imagine the pain. I cannot imagine finding the strength to write about it but I was emailed about a book from Shirley Enebrad. Now I haven’t read the book but wanted to share some of the story and lessons from cancer

• More children die from cancer than all of the other diseases combined,

• “The flip side of placing a high value on human life is the fear of dying,” said Enebrad, author of Over the Rainbow Bridge “My son, Cory, never looked at that side of the coin. He only saw life, and he envisioned his life as nothing more – and nothing less – than an opportunity to inspire others.”

• “He asked me to write this book to help teach people that death is not the end and that we should not be afraid,” she said. “He loved the message in the song ‘The Rose,’ especially the lyric ‘those afraid of dying cannot learn to live.’
  

• Cory also wanted to share his ideas on living life, no matter the circumstances:

1. • Live like there’s no tomorrow, love with all your heart and laugh until your spirit lights up!
   • There is an afterlife where our soul/essence/spirit lives on.
   • No matter what happens — choose happiness.
   • Helping people helps you to grow as a person.

• “Cory’s life was about teaching people how to live, to make every moment count and that life is a gift.”

You know why is it that those who are dying are often the ones with the strength? Why are those who die so rational? Why is it that the living think more about death and the dying think about living….
