I'm not alone in grieving my Momma 💕

It has been over a month since the passing my beautiful mother and this book has been so helpful. That the way I'm feeling how I think how my life has been impacted and such a tremendous terrible way, hearing others are going through this awful heartache 💔 Thank you so much for the kind words and advice, and was read beautifully😇

A good listen if you a struggling

I would recommend this audio if you are struggling with the loss of your mom. It’s been 3 years & 4 months & 1 day. I still struggle & miss my mom every moment of every day!

10 Months Later.

Loved the storyline, but still struggling with the loss 10 months later. I guess more time is needed.

Definitely needed

I started listening to this just a few weeks after my mom died unexpectedly and continued slowly for a few months. It was incredibly helpful to validate many feelings I had. Definitely what I needed.

Great book

I lost my mom 3 and a half years ago now and still have good days and bad days. This book is so helpful in making me feel like I'm not alone.

This excellent book is a blessing.

This amazing book has been like my grief bible. I keep it on my bedside and know it’s always there for me with answers, validation and emotional support. The comforting audiobook is a godsend on my long drives, like a dear friend guiding me through this.

Through the author’s beautiful heart and words, I have been given hope during this very dark and confusing time. Truly an exceptional book and the author a beacon of light to those like me in grief.

Learn and Growth

This book has bless my life and it gave me understanding on what to expect during this path of life

Good information!

I am in the early stage of loss. This is a helpful book, and the authors voice is soothing. it is full of good information, tips, and reminders.

Great book after I lost my mom

I thought this book was wonderful! However I do disagree with one point. She stated she could never accept the death of her mom and find peace. I strongly disagree. I have peace with my moms death because she was suffering here on earth with cancer all through her body. But I knew as I told mom I would be ok and it was time for her to go home to Jesus that she would be healed the moment her soul left her body, she was in no more pain. And I will see her again, when God is ready for me to come home.
