"These beautifully written self-help books should be available in all libraries."

What specialists say:

"There are many books on grief, and the seriously and terminally ill, but they generally seem to fall into one of two categories, books for the professional and then the more personal, first-person oriented, for those on that journey. Rare and special are the books that bring both groups together in a way that benefits both and serves to bring both books together. ...Gifted author Phyllis Davies, from her own integration of “head and heart”, accomplishes that noble and needed goal."
