Jennifer D: After losing my mother, I was looking for an instruction manual to tell me how to grieve. How to make the pain stop. To confirm that what I was feeling wasn't abnormal. I wanted some answers on what to expect. This book is lovely and well written and helped provide some comfort and answers to those questions. Highly recommend.

oliviaaa: Not sure how to really rate a book like this. It’s either you like it or you don’t or you find it okay. I feel like it depends on you as a person and your grieving stage. I don’t feel any way towards this book necessarily, but it understands what I’m going through but not in any enlightening way. I lost mine just before Christmas so I’m like 4 months in grief and I’m not rushing to pick it up to read or anything. Maybe it’s the stage that I am at.

happyreader1144: I bought this book along with several other grief books the night my mom died. Healing After the Loss of Your Mother was my favorite and the most helpful. As some reviewers said, chances are you’ve heard much of the advice. It’s not “groundbreaking.” Instead it’s comforting and practical - exactly what’s needed during this hard time. I also really appreciated that it was written specifically about losing your mom. Since none of my friends have experienced losing their mother, it was so helpful to hear Elaine’s personal experience. Her words gave me faith during those incredibly painful times when I doubted that I’d be able to resume my life without my mom. It’s now been four months - and I find myself occasionally revisiting the book when I feel like I need to hear from someone who understands this journey. If you’ve lost your mom, know that you’re not alone. It’s one of the most gut-wrenching experiences but you will get through it. I highly recommend this book to help!

Caroline: I purchased this book about a month after losing my mother. I looked at multiple books about grief on Amazon before deciding this likely was the best for my particular needs. From the start of the book, I felt like the author had felt the same emotions I was feeling, as my emotions at the time were still exceptionally raw. There are very few pages that I couldn’t relate to. I found it to be more of a manual, to help me through the day to day, and to reassure me that the emotions I was feeling, regardless of how dark, were normal. Months later I still refer back to it, because it gives me validation, and comfort. I found it almost gave me an understanding of what emotions I might feel, later down the road, so there weren’t many surprises when those emotions hit. It has now been 8 months since my mother passed, and this book has given me hope that there is another side of grief. I wanted to wait in doing my review, so that I was in the process of healing, and could adequately convey the value I felt in these pages. Grief never completely goes away, but this book has shown me, you can heal. The healing timeline is different for everyone, and the book also makes that known. In...

Pallavi: After loosing my mother few weeks ago I was unable to find peace and slept every night crying alone. She passed away due to cancer at 68. I m 33 and felt I was not ready to live rest of my life without her. First few days I was in so much pain, disbelief, guilt and shock that I felt life has no meaning.

I read a book on kindle ‘Healing after the loss of your mother’ by Elaine Mallon. I read it every night while I was weeping alone. It really helped me and gave me peace. It was very relatable. I learnt that support and self care is very important while we are in our deepest pain of life and understanding that time will not heal by itself I have to find ways to learn to live with this and make best of my life. My mother was a doctor( gynaecologist). She believed in God and was very giving, loving independent woman. She was
My best friend. I wish to carry her legacy and be a mother like her to my son. I know she is not with me physically but due to her I have belief in God. I know God and her immense love, protection, care and blessings are with me. I can feel her love and her presence. My mother has done so much for me that I don’t want her efforts to go in vain. I...
