Book excerpt: A story about sudden loss, the ensuing grief, and ultimate healing, this is a tribute to a beautiful young woman whose life was cut short. But it is much more. Dr. Maria Guillén Portilla, an eating disorder specialist, has guided many young people through a debilitating, sometimes fatal, condition. But she was unprepared for the loss of her daughter Diana, who died at age 25 in an accident, and felt her own life, in many respects, had ended as well. Through a "virtual" conversation with Diana, she describes how she survived, with personal and professional support, and offers tools for others in similar situations. In I Smile Because She Lived, the reader experiences the pain of unfinished business but also the peace that comes from working through it.
