Book Review

Here is what the Salem, Oregon Statesman-Journal's Literary Reviewer, Dan Hays has to say about "Growing Beyond Your Loss" :
Salem, Oregon Sunday January 23, 2005:

"This little book is . . . . . worth more than it costs. It is a simple, practical guide to working through grief.

It might at first seem too simplistic, too pat. But it is this very simplicity that will be of the most help to people faced with the pain of loss.

There is no "psychobabble" or jargon, only plain, simple words.

Grisham is a licensed psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (RN, MN,PMHNP). Her approach is honest, and useful."

"Growing Beyond Your Loss".

Personal Testimonial

" The book is a helpful and practical resource for working through grief. Easy to read and relate to- written in everyday language.

The reader is taken by the hand through the stages of dealing with grief - causes, identification of symptoms, immediate and short term methods for managing the grief, and then on the road to recovery.

It was helpful for me and I have shared it with friends dealing with some of life's unfortunate events."

Review of grief book by Professor of Nursing:

“. . . small and spiralbound makes it easy to flip to the appropriate place, or perch it open and standing to use as a display and a supplement to the main talking points on the subject.”

“I found the topics themselves to be relevant and informative without being overwhelming.“

“. . questions raised in the "residual loss" and "my techniques" and "my coping techniques" sections were relevant and thought provoking”.

“Putting your plan to work" section really helps the sojourner to pull all the information together and take action on their own behalf.

“The graphics are colorful and comforting.”

Barbara A. May, PhD, APRN, BC
Professor of Nursing,
Linfield College
