The Beautiful Destruction of My Life by Kimberly S. Bohannon

 The gentle feelings and whispered affection of marriage rarely remain as the years pass. Communication becomes skewed, and emotional connection is swept away in the wind. Life pushes forward with or without you. Yet, God's motive is in question when “In sickness and in health” becomes all too real. “Why now? Why me? Why them?”

The Beautiful Destruction of My Life by Kimberly Bohannon takes the reader behind closed doors to the selfless role of caregiving. In this tender and heart-wrenching memoir of the author’s experience as a caregiver for her husband with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), the author tells the story of her once whirlwind romance as it slowly became a failing marriage. With raw honesty, Bohannon gives each painstaking detail of her experience and newfound relationship with her husband after his diagnosis.

In an ode to God’s ultimate plan for His children, the author credits God’s hand for the rebirth of her marriage and all the events that follow. When you feel no other options, God throws you a rope. When you are ready to give up, He asks for altruism and offers strength. Caregivers everywhere and of every kind are lifted by Bohannon’s truth of this intimate role's frustration, patience, joy, and sadness. No caregiving experience is ever the same, but with faith in Him and faith in yourself, there is strength and love to be found.
