Description: "This book explores a daughter's reactions and discoveries when faced with the death of her elderly mother. Just because the mothers might be well into their 80s and their daughters in their 50's or 60's, the impact of the rupturing of the connection does not decrease - sometimes it becomes even more intense. In fact, as daughters reveal, the death of an elderly mother can be accompanied by unexpected grief and loss.

This book draws on interviews, research and poetry to explore the special impact that longevity has on these first and most lasting bonds."--BOOK JACKET.
