About this listen
In this Christian grief book, Julie’s heart-wrenching and spiritually enlightening journey will remind you how to treasure your remaining time with a loved one.
Julie Wylie couldn’t imagine life without her mother, Patty. Then, Patty received a terminal diagnosis.
Faced with this reality, Julie set out on an intentional journey to commemorate the final days of their endearing relationship.
Through Julie’s unique, yet universal experiences, you’ll discover creative and loving ways to cherish the last phase of life, and transform it into a lasting legacy:
- Create beautiful rituals that celebrate and memorialize your loved one, as well as ease your suffering.
- Live without regrets, and be open to final lessons that can help you navigate life without your loved one.
- Embrace the deep sorrow of grief, and experience the joy of its greatest blessings.
- Look beyond a terminal diagnosis to what lasts beyond this lifetime.
The greater the relationship, the greater the need to commemorate it.
Cherishable inspires us all to cherish our time together, especially when that time is all too short.

Story
At 65, artist, writer, and psychologist Sharon Strong doesn’t fit into the cultural stereotype of “senior citizen”—and she has no desire to. Instead, she claims the next decade as the most transformational years of her life. At 66, she erects the first of what will become a series of monumental sculptures on the Black Rock Desert at Burning Man. At 67, she treks in the Himalayas. At 70, she meets the love of her life and begins a new life with him. To honor her 75th year, she delves into an inward journey with psilocybin mushrooms.

Story
John Walker was a Miami undercover narcotics agent in the 1970s. Ten years later, he was in prison for smuggling 12,000 pounds of marijuana. In prison, he connected with a South American drug lord who was still running the family operation from inside the federal pen. Within months of being paroled, John began smuggling again—this time uncut Colombian cocaine. And this time, he put everything on the line: his freedom, his family and, ultimately, his life.

Story
The Awakening Heart is a work of love, but at times it took all that I had to write it. I am a private person, so sharing more about myself, especially after being in the public spotlight, was difficult and challenging. Yet, I "knew" that my continuing journey here is not about me. I am to teach others not to fear, but to have hope in God. My commitment to God is sometimes a struggle, however, I can't quit, I won't quit! The Awakening Heart can build your trust and personal relationship with God. And in doing so, it will enhance your life through your own "awakening".

A story of encouragement and hope at deaths' door
This book brings you into the daily life of a mother and a wife dying of cancer told by her loving daughter. Julies' love for her mother is clear as she shares her mother's journey through breast cancer.
I was drawn into her story as she details the last years of her mother's fight with cancer. Her mom's will to live with cancer over the course of 3 years was both encouraging and sad at the same time.
Perhaps the loss of my mother to dementia makes this story more personal for me but I found it engaging as Julie brings you into the day-to-day realities involving everything from trips to the doctor, interacting with family and friends, and even some of the hard decisions as her mother slowly lost her independence to the ravaging disease known as cancer.
Her positive attitude, as well as her mother's insurmountable spirit, is truly an example of how to die with dignity that we would do well to follow when our own time comes.
Their family's faith in God is apparent throughout. If you or someone you love is facing the grief that comes with a fatal diagnosis, I would definitely recommend listening to this book.

Spectacular Moving Story
I love this book, and so will you. Julie is such a skilled writer on this topic. She uses her personal experience to help others. I love listening to Julie talk about her journey, and I appreciate the strength and emotion I hear in her voice. Julie has put her heart and soul into telling her story. Her love for her mom and family definitely shine through. I plan on using some of the ideas she used in my own journey.
Thank you Julie for sharing this experience in your own words. It means so much to me to hear your love, excitement, empowerment, pain, sorrow, motivation, cheerfulness and all of the other emotions expressed. Thank you for how you have showed up for all of us in your book. You are a blessing.
