Book Review: Understand a heart journey
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a must read for those travelling the heart journey - meaning both the survivor and the caregiver. Heart disease never goes into remission and the roller coaster ride this #1 killer of women in this country plays, needs to be understood. This book brings knowledge, understanding and compassion to the reader. Although this book is great to keep for reference and re-read, DON'T pass it along to everyone you know and make this a chain-book - a must read!
Summary of From the Heart: A Woman's Guide to Living Well with Heart Disease
For the eight million women dealing with the emotional impact of heart disease, an invaluable resource on how to live with renewed confidence and hope.After undergoing emergency bypass surgery at age forty-two, Kathy Kastan found her world shifting in unexpected ways. Everything--her sense of well-being, relationships, daily routine, even her body image--seemed to change. Doctors helped her recover physically, but she had to find new methods to recover emotionally and create a happy, healthy life. In From the Heart, Kastan combines her personal experience and expertise as a therapist with stories from scores of other women with heart disease, creating an essential resource that will help women reduce stress, give up hard-tobreak habits, adapt to new lifestyles--and thrive again.
