Foreword
I was quite honored when asked to write the foreword to Chicken Soup for the Surviving Soul. I have been so touched and inspired by the first two Chicken Soup books that my foreword may turn out to be longer than the book. On the other hand, I realized that I could also write a one-word foreword. What is the one word? Love. I could quote all the great spiritual leaders to emphasize this point, but 1 think you, dear reader, know what I am saying, or you wouldn't be reading this book.
When we see an event that has an emotional impact upon us, one of our choices is to repress the feelings it creates and bury them deep within. In my early years as a physician I was very good at this. I thought I was protecting myself, but I was actually destroying myself. I finally hurt enough to seek healing. Books like Chicken Soup for the Soul were part of my healing because when you read, you get in touch with your feelings. You can then express those feelings so that you may heal your life and your body. So read, feel and find healing in these pages.
