Hope Edelman Quotes

• Sólo me engaño a mí mismo cuando digo que mi madre ya sólo existe en las fotografías de mi tablón de anuncios o en el contorno de mi mano o en el puñado de recuerdos que aún guardo con fuerza. Vive por debajo de todo lo que hago. Su presencia influyó en lo que fui y su ausencia influye en lo que soy. Nuestras vidas están marcadas tanto por los que nos dejan como por los que se quedan. La pérdida es nuestro legado. La perspicacia es nuestro don. La memoria es nuestra guía.

• There is an emptiness inside of me -- a void that will never be filled. No one in your life will ever love you as your mother does. There is no love as pure, unconditional and strong as a mother's love. And I will never be loved that way again.

• I truly believe that the death of my mother has made me the way I am today. I am a survivor, mentally strong, determined, stronwilled, self-reliant, and independent. I also keep most of my pain, anger and feelings inside. I refuse to be vulnerable to anyone, especially my husband. The only people who see that more emotional or softer side are my children. That too because of my mother.

• When a daughter loses a mother, the intervals between grief responses lengthen over time, but her longing never disappears. It always hovers at the edge of her awareness, prepared to surface at any time, in any place, in the least expected ways.

• The degree to which a surviving parent copes is the most important indicator of the child's long-term adaptation. Kids whose surviving parents are unable to function effectively in the parenting role show more anxiety and depression, as well as sleep and health problems, than those whose parents have a strong support network and solid inner resources to rely on.

• a mother's death also means the loss of the consistent, supportive family system that once supplied her with a secure home base, she then has to develop her self-confidence and self-esteem through alternate means. Without a mother or mother-figure to guide her, a daughter also has to piece together a female self-image of her own.

• La historia de amor perdido y amor buscado de Rachel Resnick abre la trillada narrativa de la adicción para liberar algo crudo, profundo, valiente y redentor. La valentía que se necesita para escribir esta historia sólo es superada por la valentía que se debe haber necesitado para vivirla. Me asombra tanta honestidad. LOVE JUNKIE son las mejores memorias.
