Paperback. Keywords: Health-Self Help There are few families in Ireland who haven't been touched by cancer. This book by Bernie Kirwan who herself has survived breast cancer and is a nurse will be of tremendous help and benefit in dealing with the trauma that the disease brings with it. It was the breast cancer diagnosis that inspired her to write the book and in it she shares many of the techniques she learned to create the best possible healing environment for herself. There are a great deal of similar books on the market most of which tend to be highly subjective but here, Kirwan goes beyond this and writes with a devastating honesty which is as refreshing as it is helpful. She combines sincerity of feeling with a deep spirituality and a pragmatic approach and the result is a compassionate and practical narration. In fact, the book is beneficial not just to cancer victims and their families but to anyone who has suffered personal trauma or has a loved one who is seriously affected by illness of any kind. It is a book that will bring peace and renewal to the afflicted mind
