I am looking for a book to help me process my mother's passing three months ago. She went through a long illness and we grieved for years already. I am worried that reading this will make me regret things I didn't do/know to do/know to look and listen for before she passed. Is this a book for another time?

I was given this book several months before my mother's passing, but I could not pick it up until I was mentally prepared. It was about 3 to 4 months later that I read it and it was as if someone shined a light on me to help me understand what I experienced with my mother. I have recommended this book to many friends going through similar situations. (less)

The spiritual aspect of the book is that it respects the grace and intimacy of the dying process, while honouring the natural, yet ultimately mysterious and deeply individual process of dying. (less)
