After reading My Healing Companion, then witnessing Beverly Kirkhart interacting with an audience of individuals with cancer and their families, I realized that she is able to fill a void that we as oncologists cannot. While we can treat the disease, Beverly brings tools to treat the spirit


Dr. Susan Love, a pioneering research scientist and
the best-selling author of Dr. Susan Love’s Breast Book

Every woman can benefit from this guide through the maze of feelings that accompany a diagnosis of breast cancer


Actress Jill Eikenberry

I would have loved to have a resource like My Healing Companion when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1986. It is so important to be able to express what you’re feeling at a time like that. And for those of us are a little shy about writing things down, I think Beverly’s personal insights and gentle prompting are just what the doctor ordered



Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of
Love, Medicine & Miracles: Prescriptions for Living
From my own life and many studies, I know the value of journaling….When one has the courage to confront one’s feelings and learn from them, the healing process begins at both the conscious and unconscious levels. Journaling is like taking the lide off and letting the pain empty out so love, joy and healing can occur – and who better to guide you than a native who has been there. Read, learn, heal and become the author of your life


Dr. Frederic Kass, Director of Research
Cancer Center of Santa Barbara, CA

The book is wonderful!! I can't tell you how much I love it....I keep a sample in my office to show patients. It is particularly useful for me as I talk to recently diagnosed patients


James W. Pennebaker, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology at the Univ. of Texas at Austin.
Author, Opening Up: The Healing Power of Expressing Emotions.

Researchers are finding that writing about emotional upheavals can improve people's physical and mental health. Among those who have been diagnosed with cancer, putting thoughts and feelings into words can be healing on many levels. Beverly Katherine Kirkhart's beautiful book, 'My Healing Companion,' offers a number of ways to begin your writing journey. The book is sensitive, thoughtful, and smart - an excellent introduction to
journaling for people coping with cancer


O. Carl Simonton, M.D., Medical Director of the Simonton Cancer Center

Self discovery can be a benefit of confronting a serious illness. Journaling can pave the way for self discovery and has proven to be a useful and healthy tool for many breast cancer patients. Using this attractive, insightful journal makes it easy to begin.

This book is written with experience and compassion to assist you in your journey back to health and to a richer, more abundant life.
