ABOUT:

The Smooth River demonstrates how to treat one\\u2019s life as bigger and far more important than any medical condition, any tragedy, any setback of any kind. The Smooth River is the remarkable story of how a well-known public relations expert and her husband met her stage 4 pancreatic cancer head-on. With vigor and strength, they deployed all they and medicine had to offer. But, in contrast to narrow conventional approaches, the couple developed a far more expansive view of what strength means in response to a crisis for which there are no medical cures. They called this the Smooth River.

This clear-eyed transcendent perspective was so vital that they wouldn\\u2019t let anything disrupt it\\u2014not cancer\\u2019s lethal march, not the strongest chemos and their failures to work, not the frequent episodes of severe pain, not how society expected them to think or act, not the process of dying itself. With effusive warmth, refreshing candor and practical detail, it describes how to personalize Medical and Life Plans that affirm the value of a patient\\u2019s being and guide their loved ones. Its invaluable lessons show how to face the possibility of dying with sanctity and comfort, to view it as an opportunity for personal growth, finding inspiration and intense beauty in the experience\\u2014in life itself. Richard wrote The Smooth River not as a medical or \\u201cart of dying well\\u201d expert, but as a peer of the reader, a peer of those touched by serious illness or other major problem.

The book\\u2019s purpose is to help other people. There are lessons in the Smooth River approach for everyone: https://www.smoothriver.org
