Book Description

October 7, 1997
To tell you how to use this workbook would be like giving you instructions on how to grieve. Impossible. The only thing we know for sure is that no two people will approach this work in the same way. If there's one thing you should remember as you begin this process, it is this: You are not alone. With that knowledge, you've already begun to heal.
--from A Mother Loss Workbook

Inspired by Hope Edelman's bestselling Motherless Daughters, authors Diane Hambrook and Gail Eisenberg have created a sensitive,m accessible workbook for women suffering the wounds of early mother loss. A Mother Loss Workbook is designed to help the ,motherless daughter tell the story she needs to tell--her story. Its varied exercises, open-ended questions, writing topics, and activities, drawn from Hambrook's years of work with motherless daughters, provide both careful direction and generous room for self-expression. This book is a safe place where no one will judge a woman, where the work she must do can be done in her own time, at her own pace, and at any stage of mourning.

A Mother Loss Workbook is an ideal supplement for personal therapy and support groups, but it is an important--and perhaps the only--tool for women just starting their journey or who are hesitant to go public with their feelings. Whether a woman uses it privately or shares it with a group, no matter how long its been since her mother died, A Mother Loss Workbook will guide her toward fully understanding her loss and taking charge of her future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Understanding and healing, February 2, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: A Mother Loss Workbook: Healing Exercises for Daughters (Paperback)
I found this book to be extremely helpful as I went through the process of mourning the loss of my mother. It helped in so many ways! I was able to understand my mixed feelings. I felt almost like I had lost my identity--but this book, chapter by chapter helped me work through all my different emotions. I feel like I am no longer lost-without the "anchor" of my family! I remember joyfully all the happy family times with my mother and I feel I have come to know a lot more about the person she was- I highly recommend this book to anyone who has lost their mother recently or many years ago!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for all motherless daughters, November 7, 2005
This review is from: A Mother Loss Workbook: Healing Exercises for Daughters (Paperback)
I happened upon this book because a friend of mine suggested a book called "Motherless Daughters". This book came up in the search and I thought a workbook would be a great idea. What the description does not tell you is that this book is targeted solely to women that lost their mothers when they were children or teens. It is not geared towards women that lost their mothers as adults. In the forward, Gail Eisenberg states she responded to an add that specifically wanted women who lost their mothers during childhood and adolescence for this book. In chapter 2 the book states whether you were a young child or a college student..." This book may be great for women who lost mothers during childhood or adolescence but it does not address nor is it designed to address the needs of women like myself who lost mothers after our 20's - adult women . If you lost your mother when you were an adult, this book was not intended for you. The authors or amazon probably should have noted that somewhere for grieving women in seek of help.

5.0 out of 5 stars It helps you heal, September 13, 2005
This review is from: A Mother Loss Workbook: Healing Exercises for Daughters (Paperback)
There is nothing like the loss of a mother. I bought the book, worked through the work book, and joined a yahoo group called motherless daughters. I owe a lot of my courage to live on to the book and wonderful people I met.
