Like \u003ci\u003eA Grief Observed\u003c\/i\u003e by C. S. Lewis, \u003ci\u003eSinging Mother Home\u003c\/i\u003e offers the reader an inside look at the struggles of someone who is an \"expert\" in coping with loss. Donna S. Davenport was forced to rethink the traditional academic approach to the process, which implied that the goal of grief resolution was to end the attachment to the loved one. Instead, she embarked on a personal exploration of her own anticipatory grief. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This intimate narrative forms the core of her book. It is emotionally wrenching, but it also provides hope for those going through similar experiences. Just as Davenport used her family's tradition of singing to comfort her mother, readers will be encouraged to find their own sources of comfort in family and legacy. The book concludes with two chapters describing psychological approaches to grief and recommending further reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donna S.
