4.0 out of 5 stars Stories of the Heart, April 19, 2008

Jodi - See all my reviews

This review is from: Stories of the Heart: Reflections on the Heart Transplant Journey: Stories of Hope and Inspiration (Paperback)

I am presently on the heart transplant journey myself and found this book to be of great value. It is like talking to a friend that knows what you are going through. The fact that the stories are written by the people themselves made me feel like I am not alone if they can do it then maybe I can too. I feel that this would be a good bed side book for anyone who is dealing with a heart transplant it was like getting a hug when needed. I find it hard to talk about what I'm going through with others and it was nice to know that I'm not alone on my journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars I don't know what to say, October 7, 2003

SandyWells "sandywells" (Galveston, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Stories of the Heart: Reflections on the Heart Transplant Journey: Stories of Hope and Inspiration (Paperback)

I silently absorbed all of this work and just came away with such empathy it's very difficult to express it. It is a good manual to prepare you for such procedures. Too much to say about it, my words fail.
