Book Synopsis Coma: A Healing Journey by : Amy Mindell
Download or read book Coma: A Healing Journey written by Amy Mindell and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2019-06-03 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coma: A Healing Journey, is a heartful and practical guide to non-intrusive communication with coma patients. Extending her husband, Arnold Mindell’s pioneering work with people in comatose and near death conditions, Amy Mindell provides step-by-step exercises to help family members and caregivers communicate with, and care for, patients thought to be lost in coma. The book helps to bridge the divide between the coma patient and concerned family, friends, and healthcare professionals while furthering the comatose person’s meaningful communications and inner journey. The deep relationship that comes from caring for, and communicating with, the person in coma, makes healing a part of the caregiver’s, as well as the patient’s, journey. Book Review 1: "A consummate guide for reconnecting with, and caring properly for, those we may consider ‘lost to coma.’ An absolute must for committed caregivers." -- Ondrea and Stephen Levine, authors of Embracing the Beloved and Healing with Life and Death Book Review 2: "Mindell’s approach to coma replaces the static image of a subhuman patient in a vegetative state with the dynamic vision of a person in an altered state of consciousness journeying into healing. The implications of this are nothing short of revolutionary and will have enormous consequences for persons in coma and for those who care for them." -- Michael Kearney, M.B., F.R.C.P.I., consultant in Palliative Medicine, Our Lady’s Hospice, Dublin, author of Mortally Wounded: Stories of Soul Pain, Death and Healing Book Review 3: "This practical guide will bring comfort to caregivers and family members of coma patients, as well as teaching them useful skills." -- Bernie Siegel, M.D., author of Love, Medicine & Miracles and Peace, Love and Healing

Download or read book In an Instant written by Lee Woodruff and published by Random House. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one of the most anticipated books of the year, Lee Woodruff, along with her husband, Bob Woodruff, share their never-before-told story of romance, resilience, and survival following the tragedy that transformed their lives and gripped a nation. In January 2006, the Woodruffs seemed to have it all–a happy marriage and four beautiful children. Lee was a public relations executive and Bob had just been named co-anchor of ABC’s World News Tonight. Then, while Bob was embedded with the military in Iraq, an improvised explosive device went off near the tank he was riding in. He and his cameraman, Doug Vogt, were hit, and Bob suffered a traumatic brain injury that nearly killed him. In an Instant is the frank and compelling account of how Bob and Lee’s lives came together, were blown apart, and then were miraculously put together again–and how they persevered, with grit but also with humor, through intense trauma and fear. Here are Lee’s heartfelt memories of their courtship, their travels as Bob left a law practice behind and pursued his news career and Lee her freelance business, the glorious births of her children and the challenges of motherhood. Bob in turn recalls the moment he caught the journalism “bug” while covering Tiananmen Square for CBS News, his love of overseas assignments and his guilt about long separations from his family, and his pride at attaining the brass ring of television news–being chosen to fill the seat of the late Peter Jennings. And, for the first time, the Woodruffs reveal the agonizing details of Bob’s terrible injuries and his remarkable recovery. We learn that Bob’s return home was not an end to the journey but the first step into a future they have learned not to fear but to be grateful for. In an Instant is much more than the dual memoir of love and courage. It is an important, wise, and inspiring guide to coping with tragedy–and an extraordinary drama of marriage, family, war, and nation. A percentage of the proceeds from this book will be donated to the Bob Woodruff Family Fund for Traumatic Brain Injury.
