Before I Die

Six months to live.

A lifetime of silence.

And finally, nothing left to lose.

When fifty-two-year-old Daniel receives a Stage IV pancreatic cancer diagnosis, the clock on his
ordinary life begins to tick louder than ever.

For decades he played it safe-working late,
swallowing his anger, burying his wants. He was dependable. Predictable. Invisible.

But dying has a way of stripping away politeness.
Through raw, unflinching journal entries, Daniel chronicles the messy countdown of his final months: the poison of chemo, the regrets that claw at him, the daughter he failed to tell the truth, and the unexpected connection that forces him to face the fire he always avoided.

Angry, heart-wrenching, and devastatingly human, Before I Die is more than a story about illness—it’s a story about finally learning to want, to fight, and to live out loud, even at the very end.
