“Until Goodbye Is Said” is a book about how, even in the face of tragic inevitability, you can live life to the fullest, without losing the ability to rejoice and love. This is very difficult, but still possible, as the American Susan Spencer-Wendel, a mother of three children, a journalist who worked as a court reporter for a leading Florida newspaper, convinces us by personal example. She was only forty-five when, in June 2011, a terrible diagnosis came out like a bolt from the blue - amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The disease is incurable, the exact cause of its occurrence is unknown, and the outcome is always fatal. But Susan finds the courage not to succumb to despondency and live out the time allotted to her with dignity. Moreover, live it with joy - fulfill her cherished dreams, restore broken connections, visit places that have always attracted her. Yes, she knows what tomorrow is in store for her, but today she lives!
