How does one bear the unbearable? How does one make sense of the senseless? How does one keep hope and faith alive when hope and faith are assaulted again and again by hellishly agonizing circumstances? These pages tell one grandmother's fervent story of medical management and mismanagement spanning generations. Witnessing the adverse effects of various medicines on herself, friends, and family inspired Linda Barbour to do all that she could to promote and share safe, holistic healing with others. She was running a thriving acupuncture clinic when her long-awaited and treasured granddaughter was born. Nora Lorraine sustained a traumatic brain injury at birth. Then, she was given a grim diagnosis - a gruesome disease with no known treatment that would likely take her life within six months. Nora was sent home from the hospital on hospice care at the beginning of her life and at the onset of the pandemic. During her 510 days on earth, Nora was failed repeatedly by the current healthcare system and treated by many as a child waiting to die. She was helped by many others - most notably by ancient healing methods that are considered "pseudoscience" by modern medicine. Nora's story demanded to be told. 510 Candles chronicles how Linda found hope and intention in her granddaughter's beautiful but heartbreakingly short life. It shows how one baby girl spotlighted the fractures in our medical system, while at the same time, illuminated the good in a world turned upside down by a pandemic. It unveils how one precious, old soul angel came to earth to teach faith lessons to the very people who were meant to teach her. The name, spirit, light and purpose of Nora Lorraine will change and inspire all who read her story.
