"In this wrenching, riveting collection, moms tell their stories of love and loss. Any mother could find both sorrow and strength here. Either way, you won't forget this book."
-Eve Adamson, 11-time New York Times bestselling collaborator
"With grit and grace, these refreshingly honest narratives-each a brave and beautiful gift- tell the story of the sacred club no one wants to join. Each essay reveals that while we can't move on from our grief, we can move with it. They also make clear that survival is possible, but we can't do it alone. Our warrior mom superpowers are activated through our compassionate connection to each other."

"Grieve Like a Mother, Survive Like a Warrior is the book I wish I had to give to bereaved mothers during the past twelve years of working with bereaved parents with surviving siblings. While honoring the life of their children, the authors also give concrete strategies of how they not only survived but eventually thrived after a devastating loss."
-Lane Pease Hendricks, Director of Education and Innovative Programs, Kate's Club
"Losing a loved one is the scariest and most devastating thing that can happen to anyone, no matter the circumstances. The vulnerability shown through their writing, storytelling, advice, and perspective from so many worlds and scenarios is everything that I didn't know that I needed in processing my own grief."
