sensible sensitive advice on coping and healing by Catherine Mermelstein (New Jersey) 5 Stars
August 30, 2004
This is very special book written about breat cancer survival by someone who underwent a double mastectomy. It is easy to read and offers clear, thoughtful advice to others undergoing the same experience. It is also useful for people undergoing other kinds of hardships who want to adjust to their own difficulties and fight to be strong and healthy. In simple steps the author confronts the many difficult aspects of surviving a traumatic situation, learning to understand one's own needs and feelings, and strengthening one's own inner resources to achieve emotional well being. I was deeply touched by the author's honesty, positive outlook and sense of humor.
