My daughter loved this gift
This book has helped my daughter come to terms with my dying. It’s a gentle and kind book. My daughter is in her 50’s and set in her ways but this book helped her see my death in a very different light, thank you

I truly enjoyed your book. I found all your advice to be very productive.
I wished you have put some spiritual information in your book, I think it would have added to your book. Overall, I found it very informative and enlightening. I wish you had written more books regarding this subject, but I have to say yours was the best I have read.

More experienced and attentive editors would be benefial.
First chapter not really to my situation but I will keep reading because i like the content and I know I will find more applicability as I read on. I was disappointed to find significant typos in just the Intro. Thank you for putting your experiences and thoughts to print!

Loss of your mother
The loss of a loved one can be devastating and the loss of a mother even more so. This book can help you understand your grief, or the grief of others. It shows how grief affects different aspects of our lives

I lost my mom only three months ago
After losing my mom after being her caregiver was extremely difficult. I didn’t want to live. The pain was more than I could take. I found this book and it helped me find productive ways to grieve and not really lose my mom. Thank for such a beautiful book!!!!

If anyone has recently lost their mom, a must read.
Reading this book allowed me to feel that what I was feeling was normal in the process of grieving. I finally felt like those in my life were not accepting me as I should be in the grief that I was feeling.This book helped me in not judging myself. Thank you!

Great book
I bought this book as a gift to my best friend at a very sad time in her life. I read it first to make sure that what was written on it suited the situation and feelings he was experiencing at the time. I must say that I was truly amazed by the tranquility with which the subject is treated and by the emotional help it infuses. I can recommend it to anyone who needs support.

Coping after loss of Mum
As an older reader who lost their Mum almost 3 years ago and l will admit to struggling with that loss......l wish that l had been aware of this book, it breaks down almost every area of grief..and made me understand that l am normal in my grief.....l have been left to deal with everything from caring for my Mum to funeral arrangements despite having siblings (they chose to distance themselves), the one thing l have struggled the most with is how my immediate family have chosen to react to my grief, almost punishing me for how long l have been in grief and my struggle to come out of it. Instead of being there for me they chose to alienate me and then blame me for their decisions.........I was pleased to have the parts where you say that you are no longer the same person as before and how could you be? The stage l'm at now is trying to move forward and not feel guilty and try to do things by myself as l have always focused on my Mum (l have been looking after my Mum since my mid teens - l am now 56), my life has never really been about me always her.....and l have no regrets, l would do the exact same thing again. This book was so honest and straight forward without telling you how to feel or what to do, it was more advice and guidance so would recommend this book to anyone who is at that stage and struggling alone (or who feels alone). There were so many parts where l was able to see myself although over the past 2 1/2 years l have lost sight of you l was and who l am now.........reading about the depression stages (something l also have) was hard as reaching out isn't always easy but l do have a great friend support so thank you for this book (l also got a copy for a friend who is in a similar head space to me but different circumstances)

Very helpful
I read many of the reviews of this book before I bought it, and one of the most common reasons that fewer stars were awarded was because the author did not have any credentials. What you need to remember is that she makes no claim of being anything more than a grieving daughter providing her personal experience from her own point of view, having gone through the loss herself. While a lot of the information is common knowledge and common sense, there are some insights and thoughts that I found very poignant and applicable and thus this book was very comforting for me and I would recommend it.

Very Helpful and comforting
After losing my mum who I have always thought of as my best friend I felt totally at a loss as to how to even process my grief. Some of the chapters weren't relevant to me due to my age or circumstances but the ones that were I found helped me understand why I was feeling like I do and that it is normal for me. I couldn't read it all at once because some chapters upset me but that wasn't a bad thing as it allowed me to release some of my emotions. Well worth reading
