About "Severed Sacredness":
“It’s Jessie. She’s hurt real bad.”
When our fifteen-year-old daughter collided with an aspen tree 700 hundred miles away from home, no one was sure she would survive or what quality of life she would have if she did. A massive traumatic brain injury devastated her brain and body, and brought us to our knees in shock and grief. The only certainty was our faith in our Creator who, unbeknownst to us, had already placed the right people on the ski slopes, in the hospitals, and in the community that wrapped their arms and resources us.
Severed Sacredness is my raw account of our journey through forty days of terror and anguish in acute crisis, eighteen months of grueling rehabilitation from a mute spastic quadriplegic state, and thirteen years of slow reclamations of capacities, life-threatening regressions, and cycles of grief and grace.
Even in the darkest forests, we are not alone.
If your beloved’s life hangs in the balance, or you are a friend looking for ways to support someone facing the unimaginable, this book is a medicine of hope for anguished souls, a map for chaotic minds navigating the healthcare system, and a field guide for finding or creating sacred moments of provision and presence in the midst of the severed and suffering.
