 without a mother January 9, 2007

A find from my Australian trip.
It's surprising how few books there are infact about growing up without a mother. My mother didn't die though. But it was still very interesting and emotional to read this book and to feel that there are many women like me.
This book is series of interviews and how women have coped with the loss thru different phases in their lives. It's also a story how the author lost her mother and how she dealt with it.
Eventhough this book deals with different areas of the life time the one I was the most interested in was just few pages long.
(Mainly how the loss affects one's relationship with the opposite sex.) Maybe that's in the next book... ?
However an interesting book for anyone in the situation.

This book has been very well researched and written. I would say that it is for any women who has lost a mother btween birth and 30years old. The author has thoroughly researched this subject of lose so much so that to me she seems to cover every possibility of loss of a mother. In the early chapters I was worried that the book would not cover my situation (losing a mother who I had a difficult relationship with and had caused me harm and pain)and felt that what I may read would cause me more harm by rubbing salt in the wounds, as it talked of mother's as loving, providing figures, which my mother wasn't. However as I moved on in the book it covered my circumstances and the additional difficulties and complications in grieving a mother who wasn't as a mother should be.
Many of the feelings and thoughts I have had over the years I have pushed back down feeling that they were twisted or in some way wrong. Reading in this book that many other women have had the same feelings and thoughts has validated mine and helped me to face them head on.
I feel that this book would be an excellent tool to aid women who are trying to address and work through the loss of their mother at a relatively young age. It also covers the relationships we have with our fathers, siblings and step families plus future relationships with partners and the complications which may arise there.
It is a book I am and will continue to use, as I face up to the sad reality of my past.
Every motherless daughter should own a copy of this book January 17, 2004

Quite simply the book is FANTASTIC. You can open up any page at any time and relate to it. You will think it was written just for you and know that the emotions you are going through are completely normal. A god send!!
 It didn't fit for me having lost my mother as an infant. August 4, 1998

I would like to find a book that dealt with the loss of a parent at a young age. I was two days old when my mother died of a brain hemmorage (sp). I didn't get to spend any time with my mother and this book talked alot about having had a mother until the teen years or beyond.
Absolutely a comforting book. August 3, 1998

This book was such an enlightening for me. At the age of 41, I finally am understanding how the loss of my mother 23 years ago has had an impact on my life today. There were so many woman that contributed to that book that validated so many of my feelings.I would recommend this book to any woman that has lost their mother. Absolutely FANTASTIC !
