How much can a sister sacrifice for a brother? Rosalie Contino tells of her difficult yet fulfilling journey in her book, “As Life Goes On: Lessons One Doesn’t Want to Have to Learn.”

When Rosalie learned about her brother’s condition, she did not think twice before dropping everything—her plans, hopes, and dreams—to care for him. It is a testament to a sister’s love for her brother, giving up her life and facing the challenges of looking after Bob who was diagnosed with a mild case of schizophrenia. As more ailments manifested out of laboratory tests, Rosalie devoted her time, effort, and love to a brother who needed her the most.

Despite the heartbreak and hardship she went through, she remembers Bob with fondness and appreciates the lessons she learned. Her story will inspire many readers who must set aside their own life for their loved ones. In this book, she provides them the lessons they would have to learn the hard way.
