Six years ago, Maria Bischoff, then 54 years old, was diagnosed with colon cancer. From the diagnosis to her complete recovery, she kept a diary filled with personal episodes and thoughts. This book has emerged from that diary, complemented by uplifting poems and encouraging quotes. "Just no advice," Maria Bischoff writes at one point, and she faithfully adheres to that principle. She avoids anything preachy or know-it-all. It is solely the reflection on her personal experience that guides readers in coping with their own crises. As a qualified logotherapist and existential analyst, Maria Bischoff has incorporated the thoughts of Vienna's existential philosopher and psychotherapist Viktor E. Frankl. Edited by: Nightwriter Markus Maeder. Illustrations: Maria Bianca Bischoff.
