    About this ebook

    Everyone has suffered a loss of some kind in their lifewhether it has been through death, divorce, or other circumstances. The loss of a spouse (or a child) is impossible to understand unless youve personally gone through it. In Even If , author Deborah T. Ripley shares her personal experiences of her husbands cancer diagnosis and Eds eventual death.

    Through a combination of journal entries, Bible stories, and narrative, Ripley tells about her husbands lymphoma, the treatment, and the grieving process all while relying on Gods strength to help her through this difficult time. In Even If , Ripley discusses her feelings and emotions, sharing how some days its hard to even breathe as she tries to begin life without Ed, discovering what her new normal will be.

    Ripley narrates her story to show others it is possible to weather the rough timesone hour at a time, one day at a time, one week, one month at a timeyou will begin to live, and perhaps, love, again. Even If serves to inspire and encourage you to find that place in yourself, that courage, that hope, that trust in God that will help you take that first step toward the rest of your life.
