The Diary of a Grieving Mother is just what it says. The inside looks into the mind of a newly bereaved mother. There is no filter, it is raw, and it is real. In this book, Emily Carpenter tells the story of what led her to be a grieving mother. She tells her story and shares the most intimate thoughts she had in the throes of her early grief experience–the good, the bad, the ugly, and the hideous. She shares this with the world in hopes of letting other grieving mothers know they are not crazy, their feelings are valid, and society has it all wrong. It takes a grieving mother to understand a grieving mother and the pain that we will carry for the rest of our lives.
