Dear Mam

This is the true story of a journey from grief to growth through writing.

It is composed of the letters written by a daughter after the sudden death of her beloved Mother in January 2019.

The aim of this book is to help others deal with grief or loss of any kind, and to encourage readers to connect to themselves and others, living or dead, through writing letters.

This story is raw and honest, tracing moments of deep sadness and confusion, but also times of happy memories and hope for the future.

This is a story of love, it comes straight from the heart and is honest, intimate and inspirational.
