A mother’s death can make a shambles of schedules, priorities, agendas, commitments, and, sometimes, even our most important relationships. A mother’s last breath inevitably changes us. Drawing on his own experience of loss, as well as those of others, Harold Ivan Smith guides readers through their grief, from the process of dying through the acts of remembering and honoring a mother after her death.

Summary: Grieving the Death of a Mother
Comment: I am really disappointed in this book. I am trying to finish it and keep hoping that each new chapter will be uplifting for me. I am more disappointed and depressed with each chapter that I read. I am constantly looking for signs that my mom is ok, and signs that she is watching me and loves me and there are none. I wish I had not bought this book. It is not what I needed to help me survive the death of my best friend. What about those daughters who do not see feathers, or jars in the road or hummingbirds? Are their moms not out there watching them and aren't these moms ok and don't they love their daughters?

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: Despite finding quite a lot to relate to in the first quarter of this book, I was rather disappointed on the whole - it just didn't feel like it had much substance. The author includes lots of self-penned poems or creative musings about his experiences which I think are far too personal (and verging on cringe-worthy) to be of much - if any - value to the reader. He also includes a lot of quotations from everyday folk and famous people on the subject of 'motherloss', and while some are interesting, helpful and/or meaningful, many aren't. The sheer number of poems and quotations struck me as a page filling device in what is a fairly slight book. However, it's obviously popular with many reviewers, so perhaps it just wasn't what I was hoping for as a tool to help me deal with the loss of my mother.

Summary: Excellent it really helped me
Comment: I purchased this book shortly after losing my dear Mom. She died suddenly after an angioplasty went wrong in the hospital. Reading this book really helped me cope with my loss. I cannot exactly pinpoint why it helped but it did. I think that probably reading the words of someone else who lost a dear Mother and knowing that they got through it somehow made it easier for me. If you lost a Mother you dearly loved this book may also comfort you as it did me.

Summary: The "Motherloss" Club
Comment: Don't judge a book by its title! I do not wish to be in the "Motherloss Club", but I am. I lost my mother in February 2008. This book has been helpful to my grieving process. I appreciate the author's point of "making time" for grief, and not to let other people put you on their timeline of grief. The loss of one's mother is not something one will ever "get over", and this book validates that feeling. I enjoyed the list of ways to honor one's mother, and I just may try a few of them out. I cannot compare this book to any of the other "motherloss" books, as it is the only one I've read so far. If you are reading this, it is most likely because you or someone that you love has been affected by "motherloss", and I am deeply sorry.
