Close to the Bone: Life Threatening Illness and the Search for Meaning
(Chronic Illness)
Shinoda Bolen, J., Simon & Schuster, 1996
ISBN 0-684-83530-4
In this beautifully written, profoundly affecting book, Dr Jean Shinoda Bolen explores what it means when serious illness brings one “close to the bone:” close to the soul’s needs. As in her critically acclaimed bestseller Goddesses in Everywoman, the author weaves myth, experience and story to produce a book that at once illuminates the experience of the seriously ill patient and shows that facing one’s mortality can be a life transforming, even life saving process.
