  <default_description>Edelman shares her own painful story and the stories of many other women who, as children or adults, lost their mothers. She explains the stages of grief and adjustment. She considers the secondary effects that can occur: the girl-child filling the lost mother's role at home for father and younger siblings. If you've lost your mother, you no longer have to face it alone.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[If you've lost your Mom, like I did, this book is worth a read.  I have it marked with tabs, highlighted and bookmarked.  It really helped me understand that I was not alone with the thoughts that I had, feelings that I felt... even how I looked at myself.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[While it's aimed at younger women, I found a lot of the stories in this book resonated with me. I wouldn't make it the first book I read in the grieving process, but once the initial shock wore off, it felt really good to read this and know I wasn't alone.]]></body>
