Letters from Motherless Daughters:
Words of Courage, Grief, and Healing
by Hope Edelman
Touching Story Of A Lost Connection
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 ones mother.of police barricades,

Personal Review: Letters from Motherless Daughters: Words of
Courage, Grief, and Healing by Hope Edelman
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 not really a self-help type book, but you
will find relief within the pages.
