Summary: Excellent book
Comment: When I lost my mother very suddenly last year, I stumbled on this book. It was wonderful. It helped me deal with so many issues that I hadn't even thought of. I passed it on to my brother who then passed it to his wife when her mother died. My copy has been making the rounds and I suggest anyone who finds themselves a "Midlife Orphan" to buy it and read it.

Summary: A Label for the Feelings
Comment: In the blink of an eye, my world changed and I became a midlife orphan. My healthy mom unexpectedly died ten months ago. I thought it would still be OK because I had my dad, my world would stay the same because he was still with us. But five weeks later he unexpectedly died, I feel of a broken heart. I remember thinking it was now not OK - I was now an orphan. I found this book easy to read and contained many things I thought and felt. There is so little written on this subject, especially if your parents died within a short period of time. I was pleased to read about siblings and what goes on with them as well as the part on inheritance. The book validated my feelings. This sensitve topic could only be approached by someone who has lived it. Thank you Jane Brooks.

Summary: Identifying With Others
Comment: My mother died a year ago and after the first few months, I felt like I had no one to share my grief. I liked the book because many of the people interviewed had feelings like me. It helped me realize that I was pretty normal. It has also helped me work on my relationship with my grown children so that I can help them avoid some of the feelings that I had toward my parents. I have recommended this book to many friends.
