Sharon Bray has created a wise, gentle, and very practical guide for using writing as a healing methodology in response to cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. She has prepared herself deeply for this work throughout her own experience as a cancer survivor, as well as in her study of psychology, writing methodologies, and the practice of leading groups as a writing facilitator.

The individual who is experiencing cancer, the care-giver, the medical practicioner and the writing group facilitator will all find here resources for living abundantly through the challenges of cancer. Each chapter presents one writing session, with specific and excellent exercises proven to evoke a healing response through writing.

Sharon Bray's book, based on groups she has lead, will lead you to see your cancer experience in a new way. Actually, you will be better able to look within and grasp the more difficult elements of the experience that you've been holding on to, perhaps even hiding from yourself. This will allow you to examine them. You can then learn from them and remold them to better suit your purposes, or simply let them go. Give it a try.
