"I am fooling only myself when I say my mother exists now only in the photograph on my bulletin board or in the outline of my hand or in the armful of memories I still hold tight. She lives on in everything I do. Her presence influenced who I was, and her absence influences who I am. Our lives are shaped as much by those who leave us as they are by those who stay. Loss is our legacy. Insight is our gift. Memory is our guide."
--Hope Edelman, Motherless Daughters
I have been reading this book slowly. It was a recomendation from my therapist. It has been nothing but helpful for me. I finally found a place i can turn to when no one understands exactly how i feel.Its a great read for anyone in this type of situation.
