Format:Paperback
This book is a thorough study of what it means to be a mother when your own mother has died, in particular before one's own childbearing years even began. It paints a very honest, unflinching portrait of the many aspects of motherhood that reawaken thoughts and feelings about what it means to be a mother, how we ourselves were mothered and how to best go about recreating the role of mother when there are only memories to fall back on. Plus, the book deals with the reality of not having that supportive relationship at crucial times like after the birth of your first child.
Having lost my own mother a couple of years before I had my children, I am amazed how little there seems to be written about the legacy of this loss and how it carries on down through the generations. This book is a very good companion in those lonely moments of motherhood when the loss of one's own mother is most keenly felt. Thoroughly recommended.

My Inner Peace Book
8 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback
I lost my mother 7 years ago.
A year and 9 months ago I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy, and I started my most difficult and most sad year of my life.
At some point I thought to myself- I lost my mom. I lost my dad. Those were 2 huge turning points in my life. I thought I could over come everything! And here is this little baby, making me feel like I'm the weakest person on the face of the earth! What the.... ???
And then I bought Hope's second book- Motherless mothers.
I got it exactly one year after my boy was born, and then I started to understand everything.
This book helped me make peace with the dreadful year I had, where I felt my parents died all over again and instead of being over joyed with my son, I felt heart broken for the loss of my parents, for the loss of my family. It was so overwhelming that it completely shadowed the fact that my new family was just born.
This is the book that made me understand myself a whole lot better.
My Inner Peace Book.
Thank you Hope, for helping me become a better mother!

A Bible for Motherless Mothers
24 May 2007
Format:Paperback
"Motherless Mothers" is a beautifully written, insightful book for all women who have lost mothers, and struggle with the uncertainties of rearing their own children. Hope Edelman not only answers the vital questions new mother have, but creates a community so that motherless mothers don't feel isolated and without a compass. This book has helped me (and all the women I've given it to) enormously. We owe an deep debt of gratitude to the author for her dedication and bravery. Buy this book!

Fantastic Book
22 May 2007
Format:Paperback
Motherless Mothers is like a beacon of light for those of us who are one and for those who love us. It guides us through the parenting process from birth to teenage years with information, stories and hard data about what is normal, and what is not, for those of us trying to navigate the parenting waters without that most important person there to teach us, Mom. Just like Motherless Daughters before it, Motherless Mothers is the first book to offer us help, solice and support and to give us a framework to understand ourselves as parents. If you grew up without a Mom and/or didn't have one there for you, Get This Book. Great information and beautifully written!!!
