How would you react if given only 21 days to live?
21 Days: The Random Thoughts of a Brother in Mourning is just that, random
thoughts about death, faith, and God.
21 Days is the chronological countdown to David's death as described by his
brother, Donald. His written thoughts document what was happening to his
brother David as he quickly succumbed to esophageal cancer. Donald describes
his emotional turmoil in dealing with his brother's untimely and unstoppable
death. He asks a powerful, rhetorical question that makes everyone ponder
their mortality. What would you do if doctors told you, you or a loved one
only have twenty-one days to live? How would you react? Donald reacted by
questioning his faith in God and God's power over cancer during this
countdown.
About the Author
Donald R. Dragovich has always used writing as a way to express himself and
his feelings. Writing was easy and seemed effortlessly for Mr.
Dragovich.
For his education, he has an associate degree in advertising technology,
and in his work experience, he is a NACE certified coatings inspector where
he writes detailed and descriptive reports daily which has both helped hone
and define his writing skills. Just like with his daily work reports, Mr.
Dragovich’s writing captures the readers’ attention and brings
them into his mind as if they are there experiencing what he experiences.
Through his writing, Donald hopes to make the readers feel what he feels,
think the way he thinks, and react the way he reacts. Donald has been
married for thirty-three years, has three adult children (a deceased infant
son), and three grandchildren. His family is his life. He writes about his
personal family experiences during tragic and faith challenging events. The
life tragedies that Donald has endured are ones that everyone can relate to
and many may have experienced, as well. Mr. Dragovich uses his writing as a
coping mechanism during these tragic times, and ultimately as an inspiration
for others. “Forever in our Hearts” is a song that Mr. Dragovich
wrote after the death of his infant son, Donald, Jr. Mr. Dragovich’s
brother David, composed the music, performed the song and recorded it. The
song was used at infant death counseling events as a theme song in
Youngstown, Ohio. Donald’s writing is multifaceted as he has written
short stories, poems, and a children’s book. Donald also has a blog,
we-the-people-have-spoken.net, where he writes about current events. His
ultimate goal is to share his experiences with others and to inspire, help,
and educate people who read his writing.
