Review

A singularly unique and creative book that not only helps heal the life of the individual journal writer but also begins to repair the great disconnect that afflicts our society. By encouraging those who are suffering to write about their grief, the book provides a powerful and proven antidote and offers individuals the opportunity to transform their sadness into a healing balm by sharing their words with others. --Beverly Anderson Forbes, Ed.D., editor of Remembering May Sarton Trilogy

For those times when someone you care about is suffering and you don't know how to help, sharing Healing A Life Unraveled is a way to reach out without pressure or demands. There have been so many occasions I have wished for some way to reach out to a friend, but didn't know how best to do it. This journal is a perfect first step to lend a hand to a friend on the road to healing. --Barbara Montfort

This book is a great resource to offer patients and families who are coping with end of life issues. It offers them the opportunity to share their thoughts, feelings, and coping strategies with others who may be facing similar journeys. --Lisa Yeager

5.0 out of 5 stars A great tool for the healing process, December 1, 2007

By	Stephanie Munden - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I worked with a wonderful girl who was tragically killed in a car accident. Shortly after her death, her younger sister began working for us. Her life had been irrevocably changed by the loss of her sister, and the effects on her whole family. She is now considering a career in counselling so that she can help others who have to go through the same type of pain and loss that she feels.

I gave her a copy of "Healing a Life Unraveled" so that she can write down her feelings and her memories of how she got through those dark days after her sister's death, and how she began to heal and continue on with her life. This came about after she expressed a desire to help the sister of another young girl who was killed in our area recently.

It's so nice to have this book already formatted for people to share their experiences, and show someone else that while everyone's situations are unique, they are never alone in what they are going through.
