Compelling and astonishing."–Kristen Arnett, author of Mostly Dead Things Unfolding over the course of nine days, and written with enormous heart, All My Mother's Lovers is a meditation on the universality and particularity of family ties, grief, and generational divides, as well as a tender and biting portrait of sex, gender, and identity. After Maggie Krause’s mother dies suddenly in a car crash, Maggie finds five sealed envelopes with her will, each addressed to a mysterious man she’s never heard of. Maggie and her mother, Iris, weren’t close, especially since Maggie came out, but she never thought they would run out of time to figure each other out. Now in her late twenties, Maggie is finally in something resembling a serious relationship, wondering if some of whatever shaped her parents’ decades-long love story might exist after all. Overwhelmed by her grief and frustrated with her family, Maggie decides to escape the shiva and hand-deliver her mother’s letters. The ensuing road trip takes her over miles of California highways, through strangers’ recollections of a second, hidden life (that seems almost impossible to reconcile with the Iris she knew), and a journey through her own fears as she navigates her new relationship. As she fills in the details of Iris’s story, Maggie must confront the possibility that almost everything she knew about her mother — her marriage, her lukewarm relationship to Judaism, her disapproval of her daughter’s queerness — is more meaningful than she ever allowed herself to imagine.

Download or read book My Mother s Hip written by Luise Margolies and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some 400,000 hip fractures occur every year, the vast majority among the elderly; all too often these fractures are associated with death or severe disability. After her mother's double hip fracture, Luisa Margolies immersed herself in identifying and coordinating the services and professionals needed to provide critical care for an elderly person. She soon realized that the American medical system is ill prepared to deal with the long-term care needs of our graying society. The heart of My Mother's Hip is taken up with the author's day-to-day observations as her mother's condition worsened, then improved only to worsen again, while her father became increasingly anxious and disoriented. As both a devoted daughter and a skilled anthropologist, Margolies vividly renders her interactions with physicians, nurses, hospital workers, nursing home administrators, the Medicare bureaucracy, home care providers, and her parents. In the Lessons chapter that follows each episode, she discusses in a broader context the weighty decisions that adult children must make on their parents' behalf and the emotional toll their responsibility takes. Here she addresses the complex practical issues that commonly arise in such situations: understanding the consequences of hip fracture and its treatment, preparing health care proxies and advanced directives, enabling elders to remain at home, and the heartbreaking dilemma of prolonging life. Like many adult children, Margolies learned her lessons about eldercare in the midst of crises. This book is intended to ease the information-gathering and decision-making processes for others involved in eldercare.

Download or read book Who Will Be My Mother s Keeper written by Katie Stakolich and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2023-08-17 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Katie Stakolich and Dr. Alfred Aidoo were born into about as different of circumstances as humanly possible. Katie grew up in California, living most of her life with a mentally ill mother who dragged her four children from one unstable living situation to the next, repeatedly exposing her kids to episodes of abuse, neglect and abandonment. Meanwhile Alfred grew up on the other side of the world in the West Africa nation of Ghana. His parents divorced when he was young, and since then his father has served as both mother and father to Alfred and his brother. His father was a respected schoolteacher, but they still struggled to eke out a life on the margins. But he always emphasized the Christian value of putting God and others before yourself in everything you do. While Katie was busy raising two sons and working in a grocery store, Alfred was caught up in the busy world of practicing medicine, serving as a minister, and being a husband and father to two young daughters. As the story goes, Katie’s Mom moved to Germany to be with friends she met on the internet. Eventually, this led her to Ghana where she became engaged to a man less than half her age. The whereabouts of Katie’s missing mother finally came to light after she was involved in a serious car crash that left her in the emergency room of the Ghanaian hospital where Alfred was her doctor. Fearing his patient might die alone, and concerned about the intentions of her young fiance', Alfred exhausted every avenue trying to locate her next of kin. That is how Alfred met Katie. Over time, Alfred wound up not only treating his patient lying in the hospital bed, but also her family back in the United States that had been broken by years of living with mentally illness. Alfred’s compassion for others touched Katie’s heart, and his spiritual guidance took root within her psyche. Her path to inner peace and contentment started with forgiving her mother. The arduous journey continues to this day as she builds on a foundation of faith in God.

Download or read book My Mother s Voice written by Adrienne Kertzer and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2001-12-11 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do children's books represent the Holocaust? How do such books negotiate the tension between the desire to protect children, and the commitment to tell children the truth about the world? If Holocaust representations in children's books respect the narrative conventions of hope and happy endings, how do they differ, if at all, from popular representations intended for adult audiences? And where does innocence lie, if the children's fable of Roberto Benigni's Life is Beautiful is marketed for adults, and far more troubling survivor memoirs such as Anita Lobel's No Pretty Pictures: A Child of War are marketed for children? How should Holocaust Studies integrate discourse about children's literature into its discussions? In approaching these and other questions, Kertzer uses the lens of children's literature to problematize the ways in which various adult discourses represent the Holocaust, and continually challenges the conventional belief that children's literature is the place for easy answers and optimistic lessons.

After several years, these were packed away, but never forgotten. As the years went by, I often found myself counseling others who were going through the same type of grief. I pulled out my journals to see if there was anything in my writing that might possibly help others. It was then I realized I could put my words in a book and write about the techniques I learned to get me through each of my stages of grief. My Mother Was Murdered: A Survival Story was born. It is my hope that my words can somehow help other wounded souls through their own personal journey. My heart holds a lot of love and I am sending it out to all of you, my fellow survivors.
