Sitting idly fretting...ABOUT YOUR LOSSES CHANGES NOTHING...facing THEM WITH A POSITIVE ATTITUDE CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE Finding Peace When Your Life Is in Pieces provides a positive, solution-oriented perspective. While there are many books about grief on the market, we often do not find suggestions of how to rethink our experiences as we endure the difficult grief and bereavement process. This book offers positive ways to view those experiences, with the intent that changes in thinking and feeling will benefit your healing process. Dr. HELEN PETERSON and her husband Robert lived in Georgia for over thirty years. Their marriage of forty-three years ended on Christmas Day, 2003, when Bob died after a valiant battle with cancer for over eleven years. She lost her brother in a traumatic accident in 2006, and her second husband--after a year and a half of marriage-- to congestive heart failure in 2009. Dr. Peterson graduated from Wisconsin State University, Columbia University in New York City, and Auburn University. She completed postgraduate studies at Georgia State University. She is a trained Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Bereavement Counselor. She trained civilian and military family physicians in short-term counseling. She spent the last twenty-five years of her professional life as a psychological counselor in private practice and as a public speaker. Her writing reflects many struggles she experienced as she lived through her losses. In spite of those losses, or perhaps because of them, Dr. Peterson lives a full and joyful life. She has one son and daughter in law and is the proud "Granny" of six beautiful grandchildren. She is active in her community, participates enthusiastically in her church, spends much time writing, provides talks and seminars nationwide, and has continued her worldwide travels to over thirty countries.
