My best friend gave me this book when my mom passed away in 2007. Her passing was really unexpected and was the worst thing I have ever felt. You never think your gonna lose your mom and when you do it's a pretty empty feeling. More than a few weird coincidences happened after she passed and I knew it was my Mom telling me she was there. This book solidified those moments that my mom was still around- in spirit. I have quite a few stories of my own to tell now and love that I get to read others experiences like mine. It helped me grieve because I didn't feel so alone. I have since passed it on to another family who lost their mother. I hope it gave them some comfort as well.

This book is absolutely beautiful. If you are someone who a motherly woman in your life has crossed over, this book is great to aiding in connecting with their essense across space and time. We are all connected, always!

Loved this book! Stories of Mothers touching their daughter's lives after death. Touching and heart warming, to the point of tears. I know my mother has "touched" me and my family for years from the spirit world. Still love and miss her. Recommend to anyone who has lost a loved one.

abandoned

It was suggested to me, and I didn't think it was really my bag, baby.
I was right.
The date should be
"when I abandoned this book"

After I lost my mother two years ago, I went searching for books that could help me in the grieving process. This sweet book helped me to feel less alone in my situation as a motherless young adult.

Instantly gave me peace. Knowing she is around me and the signs she is around. Enjoy!

I was given this book by a dear friend after my mom passed away about a month ago. I had shared with her my frustration with this feeling of separation from my mom that I niavely thought even death would not feel like. She gave it to me with the caveat that she wasn't sure if it would make me feel better or worse but she'd felt impressed to buy it for me a few months before my mom passed when her illness was looking dire. I started it with her caveat in mind and initially found myself appreciating some stories and sort of rolling my eyes with skepticism at others. But what I really appreciated that as I read this book and read the experiences of other women who had lost their mothers was that it did open my mind and my ability to be aware to connections my mom was making with me, but I was just too stunned with grief and fear to really see before. I finished the book last night and felt a lot of peace. And had a really beautiful dream about my mom.

A good friend of mine lost her father a week ago and I think I'll send it to her next.

Personally inspiring and an important read for women everywhere.

I will wait until to discuss. Just a few more stories until I'm finsihed.
I must say that I already knew I was being brushed, so to speak, but now I am not afraid to acknowledge it. Enjoyed book. Note quite what I was hoping for. Most of the stories are things we all experience everyday. You can take it as a sign or just happenstance. I was really looking for something with a little more,"Holy Cow" contents. You know those stories that really make you say, wow, and get you thinking.
However, it was a good book and very easy to read. If you are a busy person this is an easy book to read a few pages and come back to later since the stories are short.

Touching stories from women who have lost their mothers. These mothers have found various ways to reach out to their daughters from the "other side" to assure their daughters of their on-going love. Some of these stories rang a little "artificial" to me, but for the most part, I could easily relate to what the daughter felt she was getting from her mom.

Comforting stories to deal with the loss of a mother.
