Bigger than My Body: A Mother's Memoir About the Love, Loss, and Legacy of Two Rare Boys

By Natalie K. Watson

Book Overview

In 2010, fewer than fifty people in the world had diagnosed ADSLD.

Natalie Watson's sons were two of them.

Bigger Than My Body is Natalie's unforgettable story of mothering children with an incurable, life-limiting disease that robbed them of the life she longed for them to enjoy.

From the isolation of raising children with complex health issues to fighting like hell to give them a future, Natalie shares her sons' legacy.

Her sons didn't survive. Neither did her marriage. But Natalie's experience of coming out the other side of grief redefined her life purpose and evoked a profound spiritual awakening.

Bigger Than My Body is more than a brave, honest account of every parent's worst nightmare. It holds a message for everyone stuck in desperation and drowning in despair: Take heart. You'll be OK. You too can process grief in your own way and learn to love life again.
