Now what? How do you pick up the pieces of your life and put them back together again? There are no guidelines to follow once treatment for cancer finishes--no bridge from hospital to home. How do you discuss the variety of changes you are experiencing when you may not even know how to describe them? All you know is that you are confused and that you feel out of sync with yourself and with others. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePicking Up the Pieces\u003c\/i\u003e will guide you through this difficult time. Reassuring, realistic, and insightful, this book presents a unique four-phase process with useful daily practices to support you along your recovery journey. Drawing on the inspiring voices of cancer survivors, the authors give practical advice on how to design your own unique Healing Plan, including suggestions on ways to handle physical side effects and stress, and how to connect with yourself, with others, and with a higher power. They provide informational and educational resources and professional support services, and they suggest ways that you may find healing through your own contributions and creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the more than 10 million cancer survivors in North America who have spent months and, in many cases, years, battling disease, this book is essential for reclaiming mind, body, and spirit to move forward with recovery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e See a talk by co-author Kathy Scalzo: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xvINDkcLRuE\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Chapter One  So Where's the Party?\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Two  Having New Eyes\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Three  Laying Out the Pieces \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Four  The Daily Practices\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Section I  Finding the Four Corners: Inquiry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: The Self Scans\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Five  In Your Skin: Assessing Your Body\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Six  What's on Your Mind: Assessing Your Thoughts and Emotions \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Seven  Why Am I Here?
