It was ok I guess
I found the narrator's voice tiring. She tried to hard to sound compassionate.
The content at times near the end was a bit confusing because the author mentioned 3 or 4 different time periods and it didn't make much sense. Some of it is pretty obvious. Maybe because I had anticipatory grief in the years leading up to my mom's death I didn't find that I was or am in a dire state of grief the way the author talks about it. Flashes of memory still make me break down and cry, I still get thoughts like "ok, I'm going to call mom and tell her about this...oh frig she's not here anymore. It's been almost six months and I'm just noticing some of the exhaustion leaving my body. It stressful and devastating at times watching my mom slowly die over 4 weeks in the hospital. I try not to go there, not to dwell on that because it does not bless the now, it just rekindles emotions that are not at all helpful.
I hope other people that read this booked are helped in some way big or small. I didn't find it too helpful myself but it's nice that there is a book available for those grieving their mother. All the holiday's are hard, I don't know if they will ever become earsier because mom made them special and when she couldn't do it anymore I took over for her. She enjoyed family dinners so much. She did not want to die, she was 92, almost 93 and she said to my brother, "I'm not ready to leave you". I don't think mothers are ever really ready to leave their children however old. This is the most painful experience of my life and it is also the longest review I've ever written.
