    Janet Sternburg

    &quotPhantom Limb" is a syndrome that makes an amputee experience feelings in the lost limb. In writing about her mother's amputation and death, author Janet Sternburg uses her book, Phantom Limb as the springboard for a medical, metaphorical and spiritual meditation on the loss of a loved one. Hosted by Dr. Michael Wilkes.
