My Mother's Love

My Mother’s Love is a FREE 18-page book that was created as a way for children to preserve the love of their mother. It was written as a compliment to My Father's Love, which was written directly following the World Trade Center tragedy by a NJ educator and Mom of three young children who lost their father.

Children work through the book remembering and recording events and information. The book is presented in a familiar, loving format with fill-ins, multiple choice, complete the sentences, and a space for drawing and photographs. It has colorful clip-art drawings.

The book touches on the death, and feelings that children had then, and have now. Several pages at the end of the book offer ways to create routines that will help the child to continue to honor their father’s memory. It ends by offering a chance for the child to write a letter and “say goodbye”, an important step in grieving.

It comes with a guide to assist the surviving parent in working through the booklet with their child.

The book is something that will likely be done over time, and then cherished as a place that holds happy times and recordings of the love that was shared, and will never die.
