Mette Grøholdt, born 1963, is a master of business administration. She has worked as a business consultant for many years, specialising on strategy, management and organisation. She lives in Oslo with her husband and three children.

Spring 2010 Mette Grøholdt was the winner of Aftenposten’s contest for best feature article with the article “The silent sufferers”. Here she discusses the problem of society not having an adequate language to describe the life and challenges for people who are neither of good health nor sick, but somewhere in between. The article resulted in massive response from people all over the country.

Mette Grøholdt has been invited to lecture and share her views and patient story with health personnel, researchers, politicians and patient associations.

“A survivor’s story” is her first book. The manuscript was presented to Norwegian publishers early September 2010 and created a huge buzz amongst the publishers. Six publishers offered for Norwegian rights, and Gyldendal finally got it. The book will be published in 2011.


 
Bibliography
Touched. A survivor's story
There are not so many survivors. Most people just live their lives. We survivors have had a close encounter with death, and we know that we shall die one day. We don’t know when, but deep inside we know we shall die one day.
