Publisher's summary

The day your mother dies is the day you acquire a powerful and persistent new companion-grief. It is also the day you become the keeper of a legacy that has the potential to affect generations to come. Between a past you can't let go of and a future you can hardly find the energy to think about, you stand. The ground may feel shaky, but it is sacred. And it must be tread.

With vulnerability and honesty, Chelsea Ohlemiller walks you through her own journey of grief at the loss of her mother in order to help you along yours. These raw reflections on heartbreak, love, and hope in the midst of sorrow can help you put words to your own tangled feelings when you are speechless with grief. Chelsea does not couch her narrative in spiritual jargon or edit her feelings into "acceptable" sentiments that ultimately mean nothing and help no one. Instead, she invites you to be radically honest about your anger, disbelief, and sorrow so that you can move forward even if it feels like you will never be able to move on.

Whether you had a great relationship with your mother or a complicated one, you will find in this book a compassionate and understanding friend for the days, months, and years to come.

Says it all

I just finished this book and was blown away by the entire book! It felt as you were speaking through me.

I lost my beautiful mother in Dec and she was 57 and passed of Ovarian Cancer. I can’t believe how hard this hit. It’s my thoughts written by another woman who is in the same pain as I am. Shattered, broken and trying my hardest to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

She was/is my best friend & mom. It’s been the worst feeling I’ve ever experienced. I will always be grateful for being able to spend each day with her on her journey home 💔

Thank you. I thought about writing a book on my mom’s journey through OC and how the last several years of life has been for other women who battle this disease.

In the end she won - she’s no longer in pain. She visits me daily! ❤️‍🩹 you’ve given me inspiration and hope and I don’t feel so alone after reading this book! ❤️‍🩹 so thank you friend from the Universe. This was no accident me stumbling across this book ♥️

Many great, needed, healing tears

This book spoke right from my heart. So many things that I am feeling and thinking myself was in this book. Thank you for writing it and sharing your own feelings with the world. Losing your mom just sucks…but it is great to know you are not alone.

Grief

Beautifully written. I have read plenty of books about grief. This is by far the best book on grieving the loss of a mother that I have read. Thank you!
