An Angel's Passing


Too often, many people who are affected with a terminal illness are not prepared when confronted with the idea of death, let alone accept their fate. They are usually shrouded with clouds of anger, denial, despair and fear about what would seemingly lurk ahead. Leading a normal life can be very difficult for those suffering from a terminal illness, including their loved ones too.

It takes a lot of courage to accept one’s fate especially when dealing with a chronic sickness. This has inspired Susan Lee to write down a story entitled ‘An Angel’s Passing’.

Having worked in an Arizona school homebound program for special and ill kids, Lee’s novel takes you into the life of ten year-old Meggie Cabot and her struggle with leukemia.

While many other patients find it difficult to deal with this dreaded illness, young Meggie took her fate in stride instead and embraced the condition she was in. She has learned that her sickness should not define her life and that it should not get in the way of her living normally.

Meggie Cabot’s journey not only inspires, but helps one understand that being terminally ill does not have to hinder you from still leading a happy, normal life. Her story shows that you can still live, laugh and learn more if you learn to wholeheartedly accept your condition and look at it with a bright eye.

A smart, heartwarming and well-told novel, an Angel’s Passing has gained favorable reviews by many readers. Lee is happy and proud that Meggie Cabot’s ordeal has touched the hearts and opened up the minds of many people.

Death is not the be-all and end-all of everything. It doesn’t always mean a loss. In fact, it is just the beginning of something new. People affected with terminal illnesses, as well as their loved ones, should understand how important it is to embrace and accept things as they come. Only then will one learn to be able to live a life truly worth living.

An Angel’s Passing can be purchased directly through the Xlibris website or Barnes & Noble and Amazon.
