Book Description

March 30, 2006
When a mother dies, often the center of the family is gone. The holiday rituals, the special birthday celebrations for children and grandchildren—the memories are often held by the mother. A mother is a caretaker, a best friend, a source of sage-like wisdom. Losing her can be a traumatic experience.

In the Letting Go is not a guide through the stages of grief. Instead, it acts as a place of refuge for your memories and emotions. It is a space where you are invited to discover solace through the experiences and feelings of others—simple or profound.

A collection of quotations, poems, ancient proverbs, and stories from the likes of Winston Churchill, Madeleine L’Engle, and Jonathon Lazear himself, this book acts as a companion to your grief whenever and wherever you might need it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, March 30, 2007
This review is from: In the Letting Go: Words to Heal the Heart on the Death of a Mother (Paperback)
This little book, is not what I thought it would be. Quotes that often have nothing to do with death, let alone the death of a mother.
I would not recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars My poetic throughts on the loss of my mother, May 22, 2009
This review is from: In the Letting Go: Words to Heal the Heart on the Death of a Mother (Paperback)
MOTHER DEAR

(Oh mother dear, I miss you like never before)

Where are your warm hugs?
Have they cracked and wilted in your empty arms

Where are your sweet smiles?
Have they dried and shriveled on your cold lips

Where are your funny jokes?
Have they turned to dust and lay at your feet
To whom will comfort me?
To whom will dry my tears?
To whom will I lay my head,
When no one else is near?

(Oh mother dear, I need you more than ever)

Where have you been?
Have you finally been laid to rest

Where are you now?
Are you flying high with the angels?
OR
Are you down in the deep dark well?
