Now That She's Gone

A Daughter's Reflections on Loss, Love, and a Mother's Legacy

By: Chelsea Ohlemiller

Narrated by: Chelsea Ohlemiller

The day your mother dies is the day you acquire a powerful and persistent new companion-grief. It is also the day you become the keeper of a legacy that has the potential to affect generations to come. Between a past you can't let go of and a future you can hardly find the energy to think about, you stand. The ground may feel shaky, but it is sacred. And it must be tread.

With vulnerability and honesty, Chelsea Ohlemiller walks you through her own journey of grief at the loss of her mother in order to help you along yours. These raw reflections on heartbreak, love, and hope in the midst of sorrow can help you put words to your own tangled feelings when you are speechless with grief. Chelsea does not couch her narrative in spiritual jargon or edit her feelings into "acceptable" sentiments that ultimately mean nothing and help no one. Instead, she invites you to be radically honest about your anger, disbelief, and sorrow so that you can move forward even if it feels like you will never be able to move on.

Whether you had a great relationship with your mother or a complicated one, you will find in this book a compassionate and understanding friend for the days, months, and years to come.

Love the closure and clarity.

Loved the book. Gave me so much healing and joy… remembering my Mom. Great book for healing.

Many great, needed, healing tears

This book spoke right from my heart. So many things that I am feeling and thinking myself were in this book. Thank you for writing it and sharing your own feelings with the world. Losing your mom just sucks…but it is great to know you are not alone.

Now that she’s gone

Lost my Mom 3 weeks ago and this book helped. I’m still grieving and always will forever but now I have a new knowledge to help

A MUST read!

This book truly touched my soul. I started reading it 4 weeks after my mother’s passing and I don’t know how I would have made it without many of the offerings it provided! Ours was complicated but it doesn’t mean losing her hurt any less. On my hardest days, I will read it again and again!

So comforting and relatable

This book is a great recognition of what it is to loose a mom. It’s raw and relatable. Chelsea’s voice is so comforting and encouraging.
