Motherless Daughters: The Legacy of Loss by Hope Edelman

5.0

If you are a "Motherless Daughter", this is a MUST READ.
I can't even put into words how much this book helped me with the grieving process. The book includes stories from other Motherless Daughters, advice, and leaves you feeling like you are not alone. It is inspirational, helpful, and uplifting. It will make you smile & cry, give you strength, and make you realize things about yourself, your mother, and your grief that you'd never thought of before. How she puts all of these things into words, I'll never know. I respect Hope as a writer and a Motherless Daughter. This is my "go to" book when I am dealing with the loss of my Mom. Every time I read this book, I find something else that I had overlooked before. Also, as I grow, the stories mean more and more to me. Before I had a child of my own, I couldn't relate to the part of the book discussing that issue. But after I had my child, I re-read that section and got SO MUCH out of it like I was reading it for the first time. I will continue to re-read this book at least once a year as long as I live. I love it.
