My sister's laughter,
By Sara Unrein (Tarboro, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In My Mother's Kitchen: An Introduction to the Healing Power of Reminiscence (Paperback)
Shortly after my sister passed away, I received this book. It was so tender and so helpful in returning my sister's laughter to my life. I would highly recommend this book to everyone who has a void in their life from the loss of a family member or dear friend. Also, I think it is a wonderful gift for those you love who have had a recent loss in their life.

thanks...,
By Justin Zacks (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In My Mother's Kitchen (Paperback)
I feel fortunate to have really gotten the message this book conveys... emptiness and hurt over someone you loved can really be healed by making a point to remember the sweet times you shared together! Seems simple, but I for one needed help to do it... thanks to the author for giving me such concrete, personal guidance in this book.

Thank you for your gentle guidance.,
This review is from: In My Mother's Kitchen: An Introduction to the Healing Power of Reminiscence (Paperback)
Robin Edgar's book should be read by anyone who is dealing with the loss of a family member. It was a reminder of how to find and remember the goodness in relationships and experiences with those who have meant the most in our lives. It was a comfort to read her book and know that my feelings were somewhat universal. She is a gifted writer but, more importantly, understands our frailties and insecurities. Thank you Robin!
