Editorial Review:
Revisiting the profoundly important subject of mother loss, Letters From Motherless Daughters is a compilation of real letters written by women in response to the ground-breaking New York Times bestseller Motherless Daughters.When Motherless Daughters was first published in 1994, author Hope Edelman--through research, interviews, and personal experience--helped women across the country deal with the pain of losing a mother. Finally they felt free to discuss and try to understand their unique form of grief, and perhaps most importantly, they felt that they were not alone in their loss.The overwhelming number of letters she received in response to Motherless Daughters prompted Hope Edelman to publish Letters From Motherless Daughters. Reaffirming her precious link with motherless women across the country, Hope presents these moving, honest, and often hopeful letters, along with her own insight, and offers readers a chance to further learn from this loss. Chapters are divided by the number of years since mother loss, and each addresses the significant issues of that stage. Hope also includes information on starting or joining a support group, and offers suggested reading for motherless women. The words of these brave women illustrate the profound pain, the astounding strength, and the undying perseverance to live on, but never outlive the need for one's mother.of police barricades, the razor-sharp line between life and death, the unforgiving chasm

This is a well-written book that is written for women who lost their mothers when they were young. It should be very helpful.

Wonderful help and encouragement to an empty broken heart. Just knowing others feel the same who have experienced such loss.

- You are not alone
You will find, as I did, while reading this book, that daughters of women who have died are not alone. What a relief to me to know, at the age of 30+, that I wasn't crazy because I still want my mother when I'm sick, down, or just want to talk. I was eight when my mother succumbed to cancer within ten days of diagnosis--needless to say, we were shocked--I'm still shocked.

If you have been grieving for your mother for a few weeks, or for many years, this is the book for you. It's ... Read More

- Good book.
Several years ago, Hope Edelman wrote a book that was supposed to help women deal with the loss of a mother. She did this so that other women would not have to go through the ordeal she did. Specifically, the ordeal of not having an adequate reference for dealing with such a tragedy.
Her efforts resulted in the widely popular Motherless Daughters.
With the publication of the book came a flood of letters from women who wanted to share their own experiences with Edelman.
In response, ... Read More

- Self-help
I think that the book offered many perspectives on what motherless daughters are going through, and a lot of these I could relate to in some way. Some of the letters just hit too close to home so to speak and made me really sad. I missed my mom more while reading the book, but after I felt relieved. It's a must read for motherless girls/women; very therapeutic.
