Customer Reviews

thanks...

I feel fortunate to have really gotten the message this book conveys... emptiness and hurt over someone you loved can really be healed by making a point to remember the sweet times you shared together! Seems simple, but I for one needed help to do it... thanks to the author for giving me such concrete, personal guidance in this book.

Thank you for your gentle guidance.

Robin Edgar's book should be read by anyone who is dealing with the loss of a family member. It was a reminder of how to find and remember the goodness in relationships and experiences with those who have meant the most in our lives. It was a comfort to read her book and know that my feelings were somewhat universal. She is a gifted writer but, more importantly, understands our frailties and insecurities. Thank you Robin!

My sister's laughter

Shortly after my sister passed away, I received this book. It was so tender and so helpful in returning my sister's laughter to my life. I would highly recommend this book to everyone who has a void in their life from the loss of a family member or dear friend. Also, I think it is a wonderful gift for those you love who have had a recent loss in their life.

In My Mother's Kitchen

When I started to read In My Mother's Kitchen, I just could not put it down! Robin Edgar's stories are so touching and the exercises brought back a flood of my own precious memories that had me laughing and crying at the same time. What a clear and simple way to preserve your family legacy and celebrate the lives of those who are gone. 5 stars
