This is a tough one for me. My mother has cancer and is closer to being gone then being here with us. I will definitely go back and read this once that time comes, but this is a great resource.

Now That She’s Gone
Chelsea Ohlemiller

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 stars

This book is a daughter’s reflection on Love, Loss and a Mothers Legacy.

I cannot even begin to express to you how beautifully raw and heartfelt this book is. No, I haven’t lost my Mom but I have lost my Granny, who was like a Mama to me. She passed away 14 years ago and my heart still breaks when I think about her.

All the things Chelsea unpacked in this book.. my goodness! She shares her experiences, thoughts, deep and brutally honest conversations and real emotions with us. The way she writes makes you feel as if you’re talking with your best friend. The emotions, the feelings, the fear, the loneliness, it’s all normal, it’s okay to feel those things. The tears will flow while reading this one.

This is going to be one of those books that you want to have an extra copy on hand of. This will be the book you give to a friend or family member who needs it. I have already ordered another copy to send to my cousin who lost her Mama 6 years ago.

This book soothes your soul. It’s incredibly honest and beautifully written. I cannot recommend this one enough.
