My Navy Veteran Father Who Had ALS

By Danielle Patrick

In this poignant collection of 20 poems, My Navy Veteran Father Who Had ALS offers a raw and intimate exploration of the emotional and physical toll that a life-threatening disease takes on a family. Through the eyes of a daughter, mother, and father, the poems uncover the complex dynamics of a family torn apart by the combination of addiction, illness, and love.

The collection delves deep into the struggles of living with an alcoholic father and the overwhelming challenge of watching a once strong Navy veteran succumb to ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). Each poem invites readers into the conflict, grief, and heartache of a family in crisis, offering a glimpse into the unspoken emotions that are often left unacknowledged.

With vivid imagery and poignant language, these poems offer both a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a heartbreaking portrayal of the ways in which illness reshapes lives. This book will resonate with anyone who has faced the complexity of caregiving, loss, and the profound impact of chronic illness on family bonds.
