Phyllis Davies,
Author & California Resident

Phyllis Davies is the author of three books, an international activist, business woman, farm wife, mother, poet, speaker. She is a frequent television and radio talk show guest.

Davies' books have been the top-selling titles at many psychology and counseling conferences. They are recommended by Hospice and hospital chaplains, the Centre for Living with Dying, and are used at the National Death and Bereavement Library and by Critical Incident Stress Debriefing team members in many countries. These self-help books are beautiful, appropriate gifts of compassion at the time of illness, loss of a loved one or during other difficult life challenges.

Her writing career began after her thirteen-year-old son, Derek, was killed in a commercial mid-air collision. Dylan, their first son, died at birth, fourteen years before Derek's death. Due to her learning disabilities, her writings were intended only for her private--and possibly her family's--use and not originally for publication. Yet, as she slowly came to grips with these tragedies, Phyllis resolved to somehow share what had helped her family in an effort to help others struggling with the death of loved ones or other life crisis. She shared her private journal with an ill and depressed stranger. That woman's physician encouraged the publication of GRIEF: Climb Toward Understanding. In addition to the healing story, the book has a personal survival guide with tools to help individuals, strengthen a family and bring order into a very stress-filled, difficult time.

This crisp, fresh and powerful story portrays an insight-filled journey toward peace and new meaning. It is a comforting and encouraging book that allows readers to gently move with and through their own struggle toward healing. The hope-filled writing combines comfortably with a resource guide she developed for her own extended family as they subsequently worked their way through a wide range of illness and death experiences. Included is a practical day-by-day checklist and extensive section detailing hundreds of pro-active choices of what can be--or may need to be--done upon or prior to a death.

Her deep interest in agriculture led her to produce and direct a televised movie on the industry. She and her husband Bill Davies currently live near the California coast in the Los Osos Valley, where she enjoys gardening when she is not on tour.
