A Journey to the Door of Death

The Book, “A Journey to the Door of Death” is inside story of a sudden physical catastrophe.

This true story is poignantly told by a psychologist-nurse who suddenly and unexpectedly found herself a patient with a rare, usually fatal illness, that threatened her with death every moment of the day and night.

The harrowing, but necessary medical diagnostic tests, medications, and surgery she experienced were both physically and emotionally traumatic for her.  They catapulted her from a health care provider’s role into an “insider’s” role as she dealt with trauma after trauma. These traumas stimulated her to search for the meaning of her life, while preparing for almost certain death.

Her sufferings shattered her belief that she was in control of her life and would remain healthy into the foreseeable future.  Dr. Perry struggled to find meanings that could help others in some way. She received profound insights and wisdom regarding Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from medical treatment as well as the emotional and spiritual effects that are reflected in the minds and bodies of those who experience these types of traumas.

While considering the effects upon herself and others, she discovered a model that has been found useful to make sense out of many of the emotional sufferings all human beings experience. This riveting book is helpful for everyone who has ever suffered emotionally or physically, whatever the cause.
