Book Description A welcome addition to this highly successful series of fill-in journals, designed to help those recovering from an accident or illness. After watching a friend cope with cancer, and prompted by her own experience with a serious accident, Peggy Schmidt decided to create a healing journal--a "fill-in" book that allows a person to externalize emotions and work through the complicated feelings that an accident or illness can provoke. As recent findings--including a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association--indicate, chronically ill patients can measurably improve their health by writing about their experiences. With six chapters and 150 questions that focus on such issues as the onset of illness, reflections on medical care, self-discovery, relationships, setbacks, and looking ahead to the future, the book of my healing is the perfect thinking of you/get well soon gift. The journal contains inspirational quotes and thoughtful meditations designed to help patients chart their progress, share their feelings with loved ones, and find peace and strength in their own important words.
