Their third oldest was a male child born with a rare congenital heart defect. This is that boy’s personal story of being raised in poverty and then fulfilling the educational dreams of his parents. After he survived major open-heart surgery at the age of eight, he received a second chance at life. During the next ten years, he suffered multiple injuries that required new surgeries and dealt with other heart-related complications. In that same period of time, Wood was challenged academically in the classroom and had to forfeit one of his most important ambitions. Two years after he graduated from high school, his father died fighting lung cancer. Afterward, the author suffered a heart attack while his wife was pregnant. He graduated from college and earned three degrees in business administration and education leadership. He utilized two of his degrees and became an elementary schoolteacher instructing children in the primary and intermediate grades. Later in his life, he pursued a second profession in business but later returned to supervisory roles in the field of education. During the final year of his educational career, Wood acted as an assistant principal of a high school. One early morning as he drove to school, his life changed forever. The aftermath of an automobile accident resulted in the unfortunate death of a pedestrian. Out of that tragedy, he developed post-traumatic stress disorder and three forms of sleep disorders, and he underwent numerous consultations with psychologists and psychiatrists. In the book Survival of the Heart Tragedy of the Mind, the author details the improbable lifelong journey of conquering physical pain and mental heartache, human defeat and medical triumphs, as well as the flaws of society and selfless people. He discovers the reasons we love, the importance of forgiveness, and the value of clinical therapy. He uncovers some of the disguised secrets of the stressors of emotional and mental stress relating to life and death. In the end, his faith and his search to understand the true meanings of human existence reach many tearful and heartwarming conclusions.weniger sehen
