ALS My Greatest Teacher: A Journey of Awakening. Loving. Surrendering.

What if your deepest heartbreak became your soul's greatest teacher?

After four years of separation, Bonnie and Richard reunited through what could only be called Divine Intervention. One year into their renewed commitment came three devastating words: You have ALS. Richard was given two and a half years to live. Their bright future shattered.

But what unfolded became an extraordinary story of awakening.

ALS My Greatest Teacher is an intimate memoir that guides readers through the sacred terrain of love, loss, and becoming. Before ALS, Bonnie was already reclaiming her voice, learning to listen to her inner knowing, and building a life rooted in truth. After the diagnosis, she discovered that everything she'd cultivated-the courage, the presence, the surrender-was preparing her for this ultimate journey. And in the in-between-that tender, uncertain space where living and dying coexist-she found her greatest classroom.
This is a book for anyone navigating the depths of anticipatory grief: that unique ache of mourning what's slipping away before it's fully gone, of saying goodbye in slow motion while still showing up fully for each precious moment. It's for those standing at thresholds of change, questioning their path, or feeling called toward something truer but not yet knowing what that is.

With raw honesty and profound grace, Bonnie invites you into her transformation-not to tell you how to live, but to walk beside you as a companion. Each chapter closes with a sacred pause: reflection questions designed to help you access your own wisdom, awaken your presence, and honor whatever is stirring within your brave and beautiful soul.
This book will invite you to discover:

• How to practice fierce, honest love-the kind that refuses to abandon yourself, even when caring for another
• The sacred art of surrender-releasing control while staying fully present to what is
• To trust divine timing-even when life's unfolding makes no sense in the moment
• How to hold space for anticipatory grief-honoring both the living and the letting go
• That your voice, your needs, and your presence matter-especially in times of transition
• To find awakening through heartbreak-uncovering who you are, not in spite of hardship but because of it

Because sometimes, what feels like the end is actually your beginning.
