"I have been a practicing psychotherapist and management consultant for 35 years. In that time I have worked with countless people who are grieving. There are many useful books to help people understand this process but none quite as useful as Get Over It. Audrey, in sharing her story, immediately gains credibility with the reader that this is a woman who has been through a huge dose of all the stages of grief. What she does particularly well is package the information in a very user friendly manner and give practical exercises that one can do on a daily basis. She also is warmly validating for the concept that emotions are with us to be expressed and one needs to cry as long as they need to cry. Friends and family may want us to stop for their comfort but there is a wisdom within each of us that knows what we need to do for our own recovery.
The first day I got the book I gave it to a client who lost her husband three months ago. She read it in one sitting and said she felt an angel had given her the guidance that she needed at this difficult time in her life.
I would highly recommend this book for therapists to give to their clients and for anyone who is going through the grieving process, to help them on their way to once again, finding a meaningful and vibrant life.
Audrey serves as a living model that even with tragic losses one can move on to a full life. Her book and the work she does models the resiliency of the human spirit.
I give it a five star thumbs up rating. Cathy Conheim LCSW La Jolla, California producer of Real Women Project (realwomen.org)."
