A Barn Named Eleanor: A Journey of Love, Loss and New Beginnings

Vickie Bailey had it all: a loving family, a close-knit tribe of lifelong friends, and plans to grow old alongside her husband, enjoying God's blessings together and watching their young granddaughters grow.What she wasn't anticipating was her husband John's diagnosis of late-stage pancreatic cancer, just months before their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary, nor her own diagnosis of colon cancer shortly thereafter.Just when Vickie thought her strength and faith could take no more, the surgery to remove her cancer went horribly wrong, leaving her hospitalized for months and robbing her of the chance to say goodbye to John, who lost his own battle with cancer while she was in a coma.She asked herself: How can you move forward when it's all you can do to survive? How can you heal emotionally when you're not even healing physically? How can you trust God when every day brings more bad news?With no answers in sight, Vickie relied on her friends, family, and faith to carry her through until she could rediscover her grit, and once again experience hope and healing anew, in an unexpected place . . . a barn named Eleanor.
