This is a true story shared from emails written by Sarah and Herb after she was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and he with atrial fibrillation in 2001. The journey that began then was not traveled alone. Their frequent emails to family and friends gathered a growing community of caring and support. The two years leading up to a stem cell transplant as part of a clinical trial and the year following held many scary times. But these became holy times when held in the loving presence of the Sacred Spirit and the tender care of others. (226pp. illus. Masthof Press, 2024.)

a beautiful tapestry of love, suffering, resilience of the human spirit, faith, and community

Scary Times Holy Times by Herb and Sarah Myers is a book that weaves a beautiful tapestry of love, suffering, the resilience of the human spirit, faith, and community. The story describes the ups and downs of health crises. Sarah’s was Lymphoma and Herb’s was an anterior fibrillation of his heart. Both authors share their experiences, the physical aspects, and interior journeys. I appreciate their vulnerable sharing of the emotional and spiritual upheavals they experienced, as often comes with health challenges. Their loving commitment to each other was deeply touching. Cancer memoirs usually share the perspective of the one going through the illness; I appreciated hearing Herb’s perspective as the supportive, often anguished spouse. I also loved their shared faith and doubts. Beautifully sprinkled throughout their writings were poems by Herb, and other poems and quotes that inspired them along their path to healing. I heartily recommend this book!

Thanks for this writing

Thanks to Herb and Sarah Myers for sharing their journey in scary and holy times. The book touched me. I was touched by the focus on looking for joy in each day, the support of their faith, and the witness of their relationship. I was also inspired by many of the quotes that nourished Herb and Sarah during their journeys with cancer and AFib.
