| Résumé |
What began as a floppy foot and leg weakness for Bruce H. Kramer led to a shattering diagnosis. He had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The educator and musician recognized that if he wanted a meaningful life, embracing his imminent death was his only viable option. His decision was the foundation for profound, personal reflection and growth, even as his body weakened, and inspired Kramer to share and teach the lessons he was learning from ALS about how to live as fully as possible, even in the midst of devastating grief. |
