Description
A mother's death leaves an indelible mark on her daughter's life. For many women, the loss of their mother is a profound and lasting experience, one that continues to shape their identity and understanding of themselves. Motherless Daughters explores the shared experiences and core identity issues of women who have lost their mothers, drawing on the author's own story of grief and recent research in psychology. Through interviews with hundreds of mother-loss survivors, the book reveals the complex and deeply personal ways in which motherhood is both a source of comfort and a cause of pain.
