Daughters without Mothers. How to Survive Loss

Although we all know that the death of a mother is inevitable, no book has previously addressed the profound, lasting, and far-reaching consequences of this loss. This book has gone through 20 editions and has become a classic worldwide because... no pain compares to the pain of losing a mother. Women of all ages turn to this book for comfort, help, and understanding when their mother dies. Based on interviews with hundreds who have experienced the loss of a mother, the author's own story, and contemporary research in the field of grief psychology, the author explains how a woman can cope with one of the greatest losses while maintaining her own integrity:
• Why the loss of the closest person affects a woman's personality throughout her life
• How today's relationships are defined by past losses
• How a woman can resolve past conflicts and move toward acceptance and healing
• Why experiencing grief occurs not linearly, but cyclically
• How feelings related to the loss of a mother change over time
