Sugar Cookies And A Nightmare: How My Daughter's Death Taught Me The Meaning Of Life [Paperback]

When her 7-year-old daughter was swept out to sea by a rogue wave in 1976, Carol Kearns thought she would lose her sanity. Trying to be strong for her 9-year-old son, she met with the late Dr. Elisabeth K?bler-Ross, who taught Carol a new concept called grief therapy and encouraged her to become a psychologist in her own right. In this uplifting memoir, Carol recalls her 24 years as a grief specialist, corrects a misguided radio host she calls Dr. Expert and reveals her own battle with post-traumatic stress disorder after her son, a naval flight surgeon, was deployed to Iraq.
