Abstract

A powerful and searingly honest memoir about a young woman who loses her family but finds herself in the process. In this astonishing debut, Claire Bidwell Smith, an only child, is just fourteen years old when both of her charismatic parents are diagnosed with cancer. What follows is a coming-of-age story that is both heartbreaking and exhilarating. As Claire hurtles towards loss she throws herself at anything she thinks might help her cope with the weight of this harsh reality: boys, alcohol, traveling, and the anonymity of cities like New York and Los Angeles. By the time she is twenty-five years old they are both gone and Claire is very much alone in the world. Claire's story is less of a tragic tale and more of a remarkable lesson on how to overcome some of life's greatest hardships. Written with suspense and style, and bursting with love and adventure, The Rules of Inheritance vividly captures the deep grief and surprising light of a young woman forging ahead on a journey of loss that humbled, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.

Abstract

Auprès de ceux qu'elle accueille et accompagne tous les jours dans le cadre de sa consultation, Nicole Landry-Dattée a appris que les enfants font preuve de réelles capacités à penser les questions existentielles. Ils nous donnent de grandes leçons de vie et d'amour. Cet ouvrage relate une expérience pionnière acquise au sein du groupe de soutien aux enfants de parents atteints de cancer. A l'écoute de ce qu'ils expriment, l'auteur tente de répondre aux questionnements des adultes : pourquoi ? quand ? comment parler aux enfants de ce qui arrive à leurs parents malades ? « Ce livre d'expérience et de réflexion prend la dimension d'un témoignage philosophique. Il nous permet de puiser dans ces échanges avec les enfants la capacité d'assumer autrement nos responsabilités humaines et sociales auprès et au service de la personne malade ainsi que de ses proches. Pour celles et ceux qui sont confrontés personnellement au cancer ou à d'autres maladies graves, ce document constituera également une source d'inspiration, un savoir, un mode d'accompagnement et peut-être de réconfort, dotés de la valeur d'un acte de vie. » Emmanuel Hirsch
