Mother Grief: A Daughter's Journey from Sorrow to Selfhood

A woman knows her mother’s death will come. She wonders about what it will really be like and how she’ll handle it. Then, when the hour arrives as it must, she finds that living consciously through the experience may be one of the hardest things she’s ever had to do.

Mother Grief is a beautifully daring testimonial painted in vivid prose passages and poetry. Offering a deeply personal, uncensored account of the first years of letting her own mother go, the author’s aim is to allow her reader to enter into, and pass through the grieving process without denying the experience. The writing style is immediate and accessible rather than distanced and academic.

The hardest questions we confront when our Mom leaves us are not about how to make funeral arrangements. We need to know that fully allowing ourselves to grieve her loss can lead to something important.

This book takes the reader on a journey which is homeward bound.
