    About this ebook

    This compassionate book for anyone confronting breast cancer offers comfort, guidance, and practical information from those who have been there.

    In moments of reflection after a cancer diagnosis, the ensuing feeling of uncertainty and despair can overcome us. The Language of Healing not only uplifts and strengthens the spirit of cancer patients and those recently diagnosed, it provides a path for the reader to reconnect with themselves and the world.

    This book of healing is built upon the experiences of women of all ages who have undergone all types of breast surgery and treatments. It contains the diverse voices of women who are single, married, divorced, widowed, straight, gay, and of different cultures and races. The Language of Healing offers 150 meditations and anecdotes to help with healing and provide empowerment.

    With this book, you will:
    ·       Discover healing insights and support
    ·       Explore options for defining a "new normal"
    ·       Commit to living each and every moment, fully and fearlessly
