#bookstagram #booksinthespotlight In 2017, I lost my mother. Even if it is true, saying it feels wrong. I had lost her a long time ago and found her again before she died. Because somehow in her demented brain, she saw in me for what seemed like a lifetime ago, the daughter she loved. The daughter she from time to time, when lucid, was angry with and blamed for her situation but also the daughter she waited for – my return from Ireland – to say goodbye to before closing her eyes. She had been diagnosed with dementia only half a year before but to be honest, the signs were there long before. After my father’s death in 1992, the ‘negotiator’ between my mother and I had been removed and thus, our difficult relationship dived into new depths of despair. It took dementia to find a way to each other’s heart once again. Today would have been her 84th birthday. Today, to honour her I would like to share with you this book, ‘I’ve Lost My Mum’, by Cassandra Farren. The book was published on my birthday, May 20th, 2019. https://www.bitsaboutbooks.co.uk/i-ve-lost-my-mum-cassandra-farren/ #socialmediaconsultant#brandadvisor #publishing, #editing& #publicityservices #authorassistant#influencer sharing the #booklove ❤️✍️📖📚 https://www.instagram.com/p/ByvOnwZA5mS/?igshid=1kqgc4f7llxql
