Healing After the Loss of Your Mother: A Grief & Comfort Manual Paperback – December 19, 2018

I purchased this book about a month after losing my mother. I looked at multiple books about grief on Amazon before deciding this likely was the best for my particular needs. From the start of the book, I felt like the author had felt the same emotions I was feeling, as my emotions at the time were still exceptionally raw. There are very few pages that I couldn’t relate to. I found it to be more of a manual, to help me through the day to day, and to reassure me that the emotions I was feeling, regardless of how dark, were normal. Months later I still refer back to it, because it gives me validation, and comfort. I found it almost gave me an understanding of what emotions I might feel, later down the road, so there weren’t many surprises when those emotions hit. It has now been 8 months since my mother passed, and this book has given me hope that there is another side of grief. I wanted to wait in doing my review, so that I was in the process of healing, and could adequately convey the value I felt in these pages. Grief never completely goes away, but this book has shown me, you can heal. The healing timeline is different for everyone, and the book also makes that known. In summary, if you have lost your mother, or are even about to lose her, or someone you feel is a mother figure, please consider getting this book. Even if you only read a few pages a day, you feel like someone has lived this before you, and that someone understands. Kudos to Elaine Mallon for expressing, in print, what so many of us feel.

Really good book helps to get through tough times. We definitely recommended really helpful.

After loosing my mother few weeks ago I was unable to find peace and slept every night crying alone. She passed away due to cancer at 68. I m 33 and felt I was not ready to live rest of my life without her. First few days I was in so much pain, disbelief, guilt and shock that I felt life has no meaning.I read a book on kindle ‘Healing after the loss of your mother’ by Elaine Mallon. I read it every night while I was weeping alone. It really helped me and gave me peace. It was very relatable. I learnt that support and self care is very important while we are in our deepest pain of life and understanding that time will not heal by itself I have to find ways to learn to live with this and make best of my life. My mother was a doctor( gynaecologist). She believed in God and was very giving, loving independent woman. She wasMy best friend. I wish to carry her legacy and be a mother like her to my son. I know she is not with me physically but due to her I have belief in God. I know God and her immense love, protection, care and blessings are with me. I can feel her love and her presence. My mother has done so much for me that I don’t want her efforts to go in vain. I want to live a meaningful life like she did and wish to carry her values and pass it on in her honour. ❤️🙏🏻

This book was very relatable and helped me while losing my mom to cancer.

This author understands your loss and validates what you are going through. She is supportive and knowledgeable of your healing process because she has been there.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT

I bought this book for myself after my beautiful, strong, courageous mother passed away after a long 8.5 year battle with stage 4 breast cancer. She was my breast friend, and although I knew cancer would eventually get her, it still was such a shock when she was taken from this earth. I didn't know how to cope and was in shock. This book helps- helps you know that you are not alone in how you feel. Would definitely recommend to anyone who lost a mother.

Good read
