After thirty-five years of journaling her true accounts of love and marriage, and the joys of life experiences with family members, Stephanie Livingston came to a crisis that led her to question everything. She asked herself who she was and what she wanted to be when she arrived at the other side of the great chasm of loss and pain that she was confronting. She also wondered when the hurt and pain would end, and how she could sort through the mess that the turbulent storm that had found her had left behind. Also, why had God allowed her to go through such a trial? At times, we’re all faced with the uncomfortable new place of being alone and the fears that come from life’s losses and changes. But by questioning everything, reflecting on her past, and speaking to her younger self, the author was able to find healing while discovering deeper truths.

Psycho-oncology integrates research and clinical wisdom across multiple disciplines -- including oncology, psychiatry, psychology, surgery, radiotherapy and palliative care, among others -- in the service of educating oncologists, physicians, psychiatrists and other mental health care providers, and hospital chaplains about the psychological and psychosocial challenges faced by patients with neoplastic disorders. As cancer treatment has improved, the number of patients deemed "cancer survivors" has grown, along with their more complex, long-term mental health issues. This book assists care providers in meeting the challenge presented by this population. Written by international experts in psycho-oncology, the volume offers a compact overview of the clinical elements in this field, with a primary focus on the biopsychosocial aspects of individuals with cancer as well as their families and important people in their lives. Its "bench-to-bedside" approach ensures that the techniques presented are evidence-based, practical, and effective. The following are among the book's many helpful features: The chapters are designed to stand alone, to be shared or consulted as needed, but they also develop a coherent and sequential discussion about management of the patient with cancer, as well as concerns involving the patient's family. Thus, the book as a whole serves as a comprehensive textbook in the field. The book's structure is based on psychosocial staging, much as the disease itself is staged, and progresses from discovery to initial diagnosis, treatment intervention, remission, and so forth. Each phase has its own challenges -- for patient, family, and care provider -- and supportive strategies are offered. Because identifying those patients in need of support and treatment intervention is critical, the authors provide screening techniques, as well as an entire chapter devoted to quality of life assessment, to help clinicians recognize struggling patients and alleviate their distress. A final chapter addresses developing trends in psycho-oncology and suggests that international standards of care for the cancer patient must include competent and compassionate psychosocial assessment and treatment. Concise and clinically focused, yet addressing the broad issues as well, Psycho-oncology offers cutting-edge information and invaluable assistance to physicians and mental health professionals responsible for managing patients, and the families of patients, with neoplastic disorders.

It's His Loss When the Relationship Ends encourages self examination. It is geared toward women so that they can complete themselves instead of looking to others for this task. Forgiveness is emphasized. This is essentially because until this is granted, you cannot move forward with anything. It encourages by pointing out four popular issues that women encounter at some point in their life. Self love, forgiveness, self definition, and what if scenarios are all common to women of all ages. Once readers read these four chapters and they have acknowledged within themselves what (if anything) needs to be changed, they are then ready for the concept of It's His Loss! The last chapter is all about the author. She tells of a few encounters she has had with men. She also tells just why it really is HIS loss when a relationship ends!

It is rare for someone to journey through life without carrying the burden of regret: regret for what was, wasn’t, or might have been. Perhaps your regret lies in the echoes of unvoiced words. Did you withhold the depths of your love, leaving it buried within? Were you powerless to set the boundaries that could have protected your heart? Did your voice falter when you needed to speak up? In the quiet corners of our hearts, the heavy weight of regret finds its dwelling, reminding us of the striking power of unspoken words and unexpressed truths. Regardless of the regret (or regrets) you may harbour, have you tried to process that feeling? Have you managed to come to terms with it, or does it continue to weigh you down? Are you stuck in the past, unable to truly live in the present, because of your regret? In Haunted by Words Left Unspoken: How Speaking Your Truth Can Set Your Past Free, Anna Marie Buonomo addresses the topic of regret through a series of letters that are supported by poetry, thoughtful prose, and quotations from great thinkers. Divided into three sections—the past, the present, and the future—this book demonstrates how our relationship with ourselves can evolve and grow with time. Using her own life experiences as examples, Anna challenges her readers to face their regrets and move toward letting go and healing. After all, if we can face our own truths and release regret, we will create space for happiness in the present that will, in turn, manifest the future we envision.
