Specialists and readers are saying:
"When my brother was murdered, we used GRIEF, Climb Toward Understanding.
The guidelines and other resources helped us. It gave us memorial
service ideas. Later, the story helped my family as we climbed
through the mountains of anger and grief to a more peaceful place."
- Delia Lancaster
"This beautifully written self-help book and the companion booklets should be available in all libraries."

"GRIEF: Climb Toward Understanding helped me when my beloved
dog died. Again later, I found it surprisingly helpful during
an unexpected divorce. I once again turned to it when I lost my
hearing."
- Eve Adamson
"The resources and
guidelines section as well as the healing qualities of this book
have been invaluable tools to my patients, to my students and
to me personally."

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 books that are 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. Gifted author Phyllis
Davies, from her own integration of 'head and heart,' accomplishes
that noble and needed goal."
