Boston magazine Praise for Fatherless WOMEN "If it can be said about
a book on loss, Fatherless Women is a pleasure to read. Clea Simon is
a warm, honest, intelligent, and trustworthy guide, not only for
grieving women but for the men who support them. Simons insights
about father-daughter relationships are profound." Neil Chethik,
author of FatherLoss "Clea Simon deepens our understanding of the
complicated emotions daughters feel about fathers, both during life
and especially after death. This book will help heal rifts and set
stuck energies free." Beth Witrogen McLeod, author of Caregiving:
The Spiritual Journey of Love, Loss, and Renewal "Unusually candid
and often provocative . .. Simons book is immensely
thought-provoking about a topic that all of us will face." Pauline
Boss, Ph.D., author of Ambiguous Loss: Learning to Live with
Unresolved Grief There is a special bond between a father and a
daughter, and when that bond is broken by death, a womans life can
change in profound and unexpected ways. Clea Simon, critically
acclaimed author of Mad House, explores this crucial meeting point of
grief and growth by delving into her own experience and those of
other women to paint an illuminating portrait of the father-daughter
relationship and its lifelong ramifications. Filled with moving
stories of real women, this poignant, comforting, and insightful book
paves the way for all women to make peace with the past, with the
adults they have become, and to courageously face the question: what
happens next?
