Jai es de una generosidad tal que a menudo olvida cuidarse. Sabe que tendrá que darse permiso a sí misma para convertirse en prioridad", escribió Randy Pausch en referencia a su esposa. En Volver a soñar, Jai Pausch narra por primera vez su propia historia: el tránsito emocional de esposa y madre a cuidadora a jornada completa que viajaba incansablemente entre sus tres hijos pequeños y los hospitales en los que Randy era sometido a tratamiento, lejos de su hogar; y posteriormente a viuda y madre sin esposo en lucha constante por mantener el sentido de estabilidad en su familia, y hacerle frente a su propio dolor y a los retos cotidianos del hogar y la familia sin la ayuda de un compañero sentimental. Jai dibuja el retrato vívido y honesto de una relación vital y difícil entre dos personas enérgicas, obligadas a enfrentar un pronóstico sombrío, y las abnegadas decisiones que esto implica. En una nueva existencia sin el esposo a quien llamaba su "hombre mágico", Jai aprendió a priorizarse para crear una nueva vida de esperanza y felicidad, y, en sus propias palabras: "sentir cómo surgía una leve chispa de mi propia magia". Volver a soñar es una potente historia de dolor, sanación e independencia recién descubierta. La historia de Jai, con sus consejos hilados magistralmente en una narrativa de hermosa factura, no sólo inspirará a los millones de lectores que elevaron a La última lección a la categoría de culto, sino también a los que comienzan una travesía de pérdida y renovación. "La vida es un don precioso y no tengo intenciones de perder ni un día.¿He sufrido tragedias? Claro que sí. Pero no recuperarme de la tristeza que he sentido y de la pérdida de tantos momentos felices en ese tiempo sería una tragedia mayor.¿Se rompió mi sueño? Por supuesto. Y eso volverá a ocurrir. Pero cuando ocurra, recogeré los fragmentos y crearé algo nuevo. Siempre volveré a soñar." ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A remarkably frank, deeply moving, and inspiring memoir by Jai Pausch, whose husband, Randy, wrote the bestseller The Last Lecture while battling pancreatic cancer. "Jai is such a giver that she often forgets to take care of herself," Randy Pausch wrote about his wife. "Jai knows that she'll have to give herself permission to make herself a priority." In Dream New Dreams, Jai Pausch shares her own story for the first time: her emotional journey from wife and mother to full-time caregiver, shuttling between her three young children and Randy's bedside as he sought treatment far from home; and then to widow and single parent, fighting to preserve a sense of stability for her family, while coping with her own grief and the challenges of running a household without a partner. Jai paints a vivid, honest portrait of a vital, challenging relationship between two strong people who faced a grim prognosis and the self-sacrificing decisions it often required. As she faced life without the husband she called her "magic man," Jai learned to make herself a priority to create a new life of hope and happiness—as she puts it, to "feel a spark of my own magic beginning to flicker." Dream New Dreams is a powerful story of grief, healing, and newfound independence. With advice artfully woven into an intimate, beautifully written narrative, Jai's story will inspire not only the legions of readers who made The Last Lecture a bestseller, but also those who are embarking on a journey of loss and renewal themselves.
