A 9-11 memoir, "How to Say Goodbye" by Chandra Jayne Copyright 2007, relates terrorism to family violence, and redeems the spiritual value of schizophrenia. For most people, 9-11 was purely tragic, but for one woman, 9-11 was a catalyst to healing suppressed grief from childhood violence and reuniting with a mentally ill father that she feared. Treatment for suppressed grief has skyrocketed since 9-11. It's time to heal America's Soul.

An intense story, personal violence of childhood is mirrored against the collective violence of 9-11. The focus then turns to re-inventing a triumphant relationship in present time.

As a culture, Americans don't "do grief." "How to Say Goodbye" will help every American make sense of the personal impact and ripple effect of 9-11. Every person in the USA has been or will be deeply affected by terrorism or grief about terrorism. The number of psychotherapeutic treatments continues to skyrocket as a result of the 9-11 damage to the American soul.

"How to Say Goodbye" is a beautiful first person account that journeys the long road from grief to healing, offering a much-needed road map for the grieving process.
