Dying to Live: Learning from Your Lived Experiences
What if your hardest experiences were preparing you for your greatest purpose?
Follow a humanitarian's twenty-year journey beyond 9/11. Her first book, Where is Robert?, supported more than 6,000 individuals affected by the September 11 terrorist attacks and was reprinted three times due to its impact.
In Dying to Live, Christine Dernederlanden shares what it truly means to confront life and death, health and recovery, not just in theory, but through lived experience. From being educationally challenged as a child to navigating physical deformities and corrective surgeries, and later facing the day her only brother died in the Niagara Falls gorge, as well as navigating a frightening health scare that raised the possibility of cancer, Christine reveals the real-life moments that shaped her resilience, compassion, and purpose.
This is not just a book to read. It's a book to experience. Through guided activities, reflective exercises, and hands-on assignments, you will unpack your "bottle of burdens," challenge self-sabotaging beliefs, and learn how to transform your story into strength.
On the very day she completed her final words, the world shifted. COVID-19 swept across nations, and once again, she was called to serve, creating Cora and the Corona, a resource that supported more than 7,500 mental health workers, schools, and hospitals.
Your experiences matter. Your healing matters. You are not just surviving. You are dying to live.
