Losing your mother is a transformational event at any age, and yet the number of books on the subject of adult children grieving a mother's death is meager. In this moving collection of poems and letters, Donna Stoneham chronicles the healing power of love between an adult daughter and her elderly mother--across the boundaries of this world and the next, and over the course of four years--and how that connection teaches her to love more deeply, to fully forgive, and to grow into her authentic self.
An embracing solace for anyone recovering from the loss of a loved one, Catch Me When I Fall reveals how our grief journeys can be a powerful transformative force and offers readers a courageous, healing path to the other side of sorrow's dark passage. Through the conversations between mother and daughter that take place in these lyrical pieces, readers are provided with the opportunity to explore a beautiful notion: as long as we keep our hearts open to the mystery and transformational power of transcendent, eternal love, it will always be possible to heal and continue our most pivotal relationships--even after death.Author Biography
