Dancing in Limbo is the intimate and inspiring account of authors Glenna Halvorson-Boyd and Lisa K. Hunter's real-life experiences of surviving cancer. They are straightforward about what is like after the whirlwind of doctors' visits and radical treatments comes to an end. In the aftermath of this intensely focused period, survivors are often unprepared for their feelings of confusion and disorientation. Questions such as If I am one of the lucky ones, why am I feeling so blue? are surprisingly common. As this thoughtful book reveals, for those who survive cancer, life is never the same again. Dancing in Limbo weaves the authors' stories with those of other survivors who tackle the difficult question of what it means to really live. To re-create lives of meaning and purpose, survivors face a myriad of emotional issues. The book shows how survivors deal with loss, fear, anger, hope, and grief.
