As Life Goes On Lessons One Doesn’t Want to Have to Learn Written by Rosalie H. Contino, PhD

Bob, Rosalie’s brother, is diagnosed with mild schizophrenia when he reaches young adulthood. Though he tries living a normal life, symptoms of his mental illness, along with physical maladies, begin to resurface as he approaches senior citizenship. Eventually, he lost his job, his friends, and his life.

For Dr. Rosalie Contino, all challenges are manageable, as long as families face them together. Her book, As Life Goes On: Lessons One Doesn’t Want to Have to Learn, focuses on her brother’s life and her involvement in it.  

Bob, Rosalie’s brother, is diagnosed with mild schizophrenia when he reaches young adulthood. Though he tries living a normal life, symptoms of his mental illness, along with physical maladies, begin to resurface as he approaches senior citizenship. Eventually, he lost his job, his friends, and his life.

As Bob’s sister and caregiver, Rosalie affectionately remembers him, along with the lessons she has learned. She says, “I dedicate this book to Bob and to the people suffering from mental illness, including their families who stood beside them.”

As Life Goes On will be featured in the 2016 National Education Association’s Education Support Professionals Conference on March 11–13 at Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista Hotel in Orlando, Florida.
