Download or read book Living With Lupus As Elle s Mom written by Pertina Marie Johnson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First and foremost, as a Christian I feel that it is my duty to share the goodness of the Lord in my life. I believe The Bible is an Oracle and can be used as a helpful tool for whatever it is you may be experiencing in your life at whatever time. Just take it to Jesus and let it go. I'm a witness, there is a God. Secondly, my mentality implicates when my last day comes I want my words of funny, happy and sad stories for my daughter to have so she can reflect on and connect with our love and give her a view of our world in my shoes. My third acumen repels the fact that someone else in this world may have a similar story that may be helped from sharing my story. I realized I wasn't alone and I want them to know that they aren't either. Lastly, Lupus is a disease that deserves more attention so that those who suffer may be helped by research that leads to a cure. I have to do my part to help raise awareness so that those of us who battle with Lupus never give up hope. P.S. It became a journal too when I realized it might be even more helpful if you were able to document your own experience!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written in tribute to a great woman who developed a disease called lupus. Having this illness caused her to give up her career as a registered nurse and to submit to lupus. Alice's desire to live came from her faith in God. She knew that God has the power to heal. At times Alice would get angry over her illness and cry out to God, saying, "Why me?" Some people say we should not question God or ask why. It has been said that we should ask God for what we want and wait for the answer. As this lady of great faith held to God's unchanging hands and the doctors were doing all they could, she began to motivate herself to live on. She developed a purpose for living. She had developed lupus in the year of 1972. At that time, they did not know much about the disease called lupus. Being her husband and caretaker, I began to try to understand. I was having emotional difficulty dealing with the thought that there was no cure and that my loved one was going to die. It seemed very unfair. My faith and our faith combined together, and our love for one another was our strength and our key to our endurance. When you are doing all you can, the best medicine is just a little tender loving care. I was proud to be her husband through sickness and in health. This story is about my love for a dying woman with lupus.

Book excerpt: INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A Best Book of the Year: The New Yorker, The Guardian, The Sunday Times, The Daily Mail, Good Morning America, She Reads Famed American actress Demi Moore at last tells her own story in a surprisingly intimate and emotionally charged memoir. For decades, Demi Moore has been synonymous with celebrity. From iconic film roles to high-profile relationships, Moore has never been far from the spotlight—or the headlines. Even as Demi was becoming the highest paid actress in Hollywood, however, she was always outrunning her past, just one step ahead of the doubts and insecurities that defined her childhood. Throughout her rise to fame and during some of the most pivotal moments of her life, Demi battled addiction, body image issues, and childhood trauma that would follow her for years—all while juggling a skyrocketing career and at times negative public perception. As her success grew, Demi found herself questioning if she belonged in Hollywood, if she was a good mother, a good actress—and, always, if she was simply good enough. As much as her story is about adversity, it is also about tremendous resilience. In this deeply candid and reflective memoir, Demi pulls back the curtain and opens up about her career and personal life—laying bare her tumultuous relationship with her mother, her marriages, her struggles balancing stardom with raising a family, and her journey toward open heartedness. Inside Out is a story of survival, success, and surrender—a wrenchingly honest portrayal of one woman’s at once ordinary and iconic life.
