A Mother Loss Workbook: Healing Exercises for Daughters

by Herma Rosenthal, Diane Hambrook, Gail Eisenberg

Book Overview

To tell you how to use this workbook would be like giving you instructions on how to grieve. Impossible. The only thing we know for sure is that no two people will approach this work in the same way. If there's one thing you should remember as you begin this process, it is this: You are not alone. With that knowledge, you've already begun to heal.

My healing exercise

MOTHER DEAR (Oh mother dear, I miss you like never before) Where are your warm hugs? Have they cracked and wilted in your empty arms Where are your sweet smiles? Have they dried and shriveled on your cold lips Where are your funny jokes? Have they turned to dust and lay at your feet To whom will comfort me? To whom will dry my tears? To whom will I lay my head, When no one else is near? (Oh mother dear, I need you more than ever) Where have you been? Have you finally been laid to rest Where are you now? Are you flying high with the angels? OR Are you down in the deep dark well? Call Me Sonya Grey: A Young Girl's Poems about Death, Life and Adolescence

It helps you heal

There is nothing like the loss of a mother. I bought the book, worked through the work book, and joined a yahoo group called motherless daughters. I owe a lot of my courage to live on to the book and wonderful people I met.

Understanding and healing

I found this book to be extremely helpful as I went through the process of mourning the loss of my mother. It helped in so many ways! I was able to understand my mixed feelings. I felt almost like I had lost my identity--but this book, chapter by chapter helped me work through all my different emotions. I feel like I am no longer lost-without the "anchor" of my family! I remember joyfully all the happy family times with my mother and I feel I have come to know a lot more about the person she was- I highly recommend this book to anyone who has lost their mother recently or many years ago!
