When a Mother Dies
A Spiritual Journey
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
With that last breath, our forever has arrived. We dry our eyes with every mention of her name and take comfort, God help us, sometimes even from strangers. We busy ourselves, with the must-do's, the taking care of business, making sure the affairs are tidied and in order. Then we proceed to what cannot be avoided, the dreaded disposition of her earthly treasures; and knowing that whatever the allotment, a favorite pillow, a treasured scarf, an heirloom jewel, nothing will bring her back, and, as you ache all over again, will serve as a raw reminder over and again of our loss. Slowly we confront, each of us, the matters of the heart. If we are strong enough we remove the masks that we all wear. It is the only way to travel if we are ever to arrive safely back home.

About the Author
