"Grief comes in waves, tsunamis, and droplets."

When her mother died unexpectedly, Peggy Jaeger used her writing blog to help her navigate through her grief. Detailing her mother's tortured life - and their often times contentious relationship - allowed her to understand the decisions and events that comprised her mother's 87 years and made her the woman she'd grown to be. With brutal and at times painful honesty, Peggy details her mother's life; one that knew suffering, heartache, supreme loss, mental illness, and paranoia.

This is the story of how two women - mother and daughter - learned the power behind the gift of forgiveness and helped Peggy come out on the other side of her grief a stronger, wiser, and more understanding person.
