    About this ebook

    After her mother died, Lise found herself picking up the phone to call her. With so much to say, instead she wrote letters to her mother.

    In this year-long correspondence, the reader follows Lise's journey through the grieving process, an acceptance of her mother's physical decline and battle with Alzheimer's, memories of her mother and her life, and their relationship.

    Dear Mom is sure to touch the hearts of anyone who has grieved the loss of a parent, or is coming to terms with the aging and decline of a loved one
