Dr. Virginia A. Simpson did too. She thought they had a wonderful relationship and had worked out all of their issues when a life-threatening illness necessitated her mother, Ruth, come live with her. When her mother moved in, she brought with her all their old issues and during the six years they lived together, they added more. Although an expert in the field of death, dying, and bereavement, Virginia often found herself overwhelmed by her caregiving role as her mother’s health continued to decline. She also felt herself on a race against time to heal their relationship before her mother died. Described as “stunning, beautiful, and honest,” The Space Between: A Memoir of Mother-Daughter Love at the End of Life offers an intimate window into the challenges of being a caregiving while also providing important information about the realities of end of life care. The Space Between gives us hope that even the most contentious relationship can be healed. By the end of Ruth’s life, the only space between Virginia and her mother was filled with love. |

| sally field oscar acceptance speech: All Is Well Kevin P. Martin, 2023-06-20 An American Book Fest Best Book Award finalist and Royal Dragonfly Book Award honorable mention. A memoir of a parent’s sudden passing from ALS, recalling life lessons learned and regaining faith in the process. Kevin P. Martin, Sr. was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease, better known as ALS, in August 2019. He died only a month later. Over a thousand people would attend the wake and funeral in South Boston—after all, Kevin Sr. was a leader in the Southie community and in the Catholic Church, both as a business owner and family man. But Kevin Jr. struggled with a bottomless grief; neither his father’s example nor his own faith as a permanent deacon in the Archdiocese of Boston fully equipped him to cope with the loss. All Is Well is the story of the good life well-lived and life lessons Kevin Sr. taught his son. It’s a story of how Kevin Jr. moved from darkness to light after his father’s death. It is a memoir that gives a roadmap out of grief, taking a path whose landmarks are the Beatitudes, family, miracles, baseball, rites of passage, bucket lists, and love; it offers insights into leadership, marriage, parenting, resilience, practicality, suffering, giving, forgiveness, joy, and savoring the little things. It paints a portrait of a servant leader, a consummate professional and family man, and sheds light on the up-close realities of ALS. It offers one exceptional father’s example for how we can better live a life without regrets, how we can make the best of the time we have, and how we can do the most good with the journey we’re given. Part Tuesday's With Morrie and part Townie, this memoir offers solace and a path for those who are experiencing or have experienced grief from losing a parent, especially to terminal illness. Those that believe in a higher power (especially but not limited to the Catholic community), those from Boston and elsewhere in New England, and those looking to find lessons in the good life well-lived will readily find themselves in All is Well. 100% of this book’s profits will go to ALS research, care charities, and support organizations. |

| sally field oscar acceptance speech: Soar Gail Campbell Woolley, 2017-12-12 “This is a book about life—about living it ravenously, fully, joyously, unendingly, even if you have a death sentence.” —Donna Brazile, former chair, Democratic National Committee When Gail Campbell Woolley was seven, a pediatrician told her mother that Gail suffered from sickle cell anemia, a rare blood disease, and that she would be dead by age thirty-five. While others may have responded to this horrifying news by descending into a fog of self-pity, Gail went in the opposite direction. She decided to live an eventful, exciting life that ultimately included—despite a troubled home life and the systemic racism and sexism of the late twentieth century—academic success, an impressive career, a long and loving marriage, and the ability to leave her unmistakable stamp on every person she met. By the time she finally succumbed to her disease at age fifty-eight in 2015, she had ground that doctor’s words into dust. Soar, written in the last two years of her life, is Woolley’s powerfully inspiring story, and its publication checks the last item off her extraordinary bucket list, which also included traveling to every continent except Antarctica. Written in an engaging, no-nonsense voice with a directness that reflects her many years in journalism, Woolley’s remarkable story not only will move readers to root for this irrepressible, quietly heroic woman but also will push readers to reassess their own approach to life. “An inspiration for anyone confronting life’s challenges. Gail has left a legacy of courage and compassion, and her memoir represents a voice that desperately needs to be heard in America right now.” —Marc Morial, president and CEO, National Urban League |

| sally field oscar acceptance speech: God's Grace for Graham Mary Ferguson, 2014-12-10 A mothers heart races so quickly, she feels as if it could jump right out of her chest. A few scant moments earlier, she had been completely at peace with God. It only took a sudden phone call that particular Sunday evening to shatter her peacetime. Her son, Graham, had been in a horrific automobile accident. EMS suspected multiple brain injuries. This high school senior, known for his friendliness, popularity and activities in his church, faced a dim future. Her sons coma lasted for weeks, with Mom by his side as much as allowed. The doctors had warned that her sons life was not looking hopeful. One day, Grahams mother noticed his toes were moving. The physicians said it was an involuntary move and it meant nothing, but dont ever tell a parent her child doesnt know what he is doing. After some time, it was obvious, he did understand. God can take us from our lowest point to our highest, and He certainly has done that for Graham and his family and friends. He was told to go home and watch television and not worry about continuing his education. These words were just what he needed to be determined to finish school. This story includes his trials and triumphs through education and family tragedies. His life is an inspiration to those who feel God has forgotten them or life has beaten them down. God is good all the time./p> |

Yager is also the author of Business Protocol, When Friendship Hurts, and Friendshifts, translated into 10 languages, among other titles. Best-selling author Don Gabor, praising Yager's book, writes: Who's That Sitting at My Desk? is the best researched and most useful book on getting along with friends and foes at work that I've ever read.

| sally field oscar acceptance speech: We All Have Choices Laurie Delk, 2017-10-03 Laurie Delk was raised to be a winner. Her parents, both successful enterpreneurials in their own respects, raised her with the can-do attitude. So it was no surprise that after leaving her corporate accounting career at the age of 26, pregnant with her second child, she ventured out to be entrepreneurial herself. She went into the world of graphic design in 1994. Worked hard and gave it her all and managed to bring that business into a six-figure income, while still working from home and caring for her four adorable children. For a few years, she volunteered her time at the Christian school her children attended, till she started homeschooling several years ago. Bryan, her husband at the time, had back surgery that went bad, and he had to leave his police work and was addicted to pain meds and in pain for many years, where Laurie had to again get a full time job in order to have insurance for her family, & take him to physical therapy daily. She found Send Out Cards, a direct sales company in 2004, & has rose through the ranks to the top 20, has served on the prestigious SendOutCards Eagles Nest Advisory Leadership Board & has promoted four times with this company and currently ranking only two steps from the highest possible. She enjoys spending time with her family, while she builds her incredible and lucrative Send Out Cards business. One of the things she loves most about this business is that she can build it anywhere, at any time - her laptop and smartphone are her mobile office & allows her to work where she chooses. Her clients & team members have resulted in numerous company awards over the last 13 years including 2010 Making a Difference, 2013 Gratitude, 2014 Revolution, 2014 & 2015 Circle of Excellence, 2014 nomination Distributor of the Year, as well as being featured in several of the SOC stars magazines - Send Out Cards Team Awards & Recognition showcase & achieving VIP status at the last several company conventions. Laurie is growing a rapidly expanding team, making a difference in the lives of thousands and her story with Send Out Cards is just a part of it. Laurie knows how to walk through heartache & the importance of keeping a positive outlook during that heartache. She lost her husband Bryan in the beginning of 2013 (while she was out of town speaking at an event). With her mother and her 2 youngest children with her, she had to drive the five hours back home after the news. Laurie lost their family dog Bullet a Boxer, of thirteen years in June 2013, her grandfather in July 2013, & her father in law in March 2014. In 2015, her oldest daughter found out she had cancer, and is thankfully now cancer free, after six months of natural and medical healing. Laurie experienced another loss, the loss of her Mother in March 2016. Then her kids Grandfather in 2016, and her kids Grandmother in 2017. Laurie has run several non-profit support groups over the years, including one for copswives, gratitude girls and now one for widows. Laurie also runs a local networking group in the Nashville area (NashvilleNetworkingBusinessLuncheon.com). People have come from all over the country to her luncheons to hear the great speakers she has and network with others the past ten years. Laurie speaks at many different conferences and events, as well as personal one on one coaching and group coaching, teaching on relationship building in business, being a homeschool mom, cop's wife, widow, business success, getting referrals, choosing happiness and forgiveness, how to smile through your tears, and having choices, along with many other topics.

And Dash isn’t convinced the son of poor immigrants has a place at the table with a blue-blood, trust-fund man.

| sally field oscar acceptance speech: Phil's Favorite 500 Phil Berardelli, 2015-08-10 Phil Berardelli has been in love with movies ever since his first encounter as a little boy thrilled him and then scared the daylights out of him. In the intervening years, including a six-year stint as a TV movie critic, Phil has seen at least 5,000 titles. Here he has put together a list of his 500+ favorites, which he has separated into 50 categories.

Many of his choices -- and omissions -- may surprise you. But in all cases, Phil makes compelling arguments for sampling these titles. If you do sample them, you might just find yourself adding many of them to your own list of favorites. Sampled, browsed, or read from beginning to end, Phil's Favorite 500 reflects a love of the medium that is contagious, and his descriptions will help you view even the most familiar movies in a new and very entertaining way. |
