""Here daughters write about the presence of their mothers even after death. These brief testimonies provide a mythic dimension to our ordinary lives. We glimpse another reality. We come to understand that the veil between the living and the dead may at times disappear. May you find inspiration and encouragement in their words."" --Ann Filemyr, PhD, former President of Southwestern College, founder and director of the PhD in Visionary Practice and Regenerative Leadership ""A rare and beautiful book that speaks directly to the heart of what it means to lose a mother. With deep reverence and honesty, Janet Lynn Roseman, PhD, creates space for the spiritual, emotional, and even mystical aspects of grief that are so often overlooked. This book validates experiences many daughters hesitate to share, from subtle signs to powerful moments of connection, and invites readers to view grief not as something to fix, but as a sacred continuation of love. It is a profound contribution to the conversation around loss and healing."" --Christine Anastos, MS, BS, founder and CEO of Connect & Thrive, Inc. ""Roseman combines her personal experience with grief and loss, alongside moving stories from other daughters who have walked a similar path. The way she explores the deep, lasting connection between mothers and daughters, even after death, felt so relatable. I found comfort in her reflections on signs from the other side, which made me think about my relationship with my mom. The book also offers spiritual insights and healing practices that felt like a gentle guide for navigating grief."" --Kelly Daugherty, MSW, FT, founder of the Center for Informed Grief, LLC ""Roseman is a gifted writer that magically transforms a painful life phenomenon--mother loss--into a natural, developmental life process not to be feared but to be embraced in the metaphysical realm. The book provides research-based and anecdotal narratives that will touch your heart and assist you in nurturing the land of mother grief and loss with the utmost care, love, mysticism, spirituality, and open mind and heart. She invites us to believe in the unbelievable, to see the universe with our eyes closed, to feel eternity even in pain, and to follow those who walked through pain and isolation from mother loss before us--and made it."" --Mercedes B. ter Maat, Ph.D., LPC, ATR-BC, HLM, professor, Department of Counseling, College of Psychology ""Roseman walks us through not only the practical business of living with grief, but also offers the reader an opportunity to listen to and identify with other women who navigate the unique bond and loss between mothers and daughters. Through sharing her personal experience, she lovingly weaves both science and spirituality into a story of understanding and hope, and adds a fresh, authentic voice to the study and survival of losing a mother."" --Theresa Wyatt Prebilsky, spiritual director and author ""Allow this book to be the companion who holds your hand, soothes your heart, and shows you the way. Janet Roseman has created for you in this book a very special healing pathway for those who have lost very special women, who were also their very special Mothers. Dr Roseman has successfully blended together a guide to assist you in the natural process of death, the reality of the spirit realms, and the process within our physical lives."" --Tina M. Zion, internationally acclaimed spiritual teacher and award-winning author
