She shows step by step how to build a more loving and authentic relationship with your mother by looking at such issues as:
Health and Sexuality Money Resolving Conflict Family Secrets Spirituality ...And more

What Matters Most When she found out her mother was dying of ovarian cancer, Mary Marcdante (a contributor to Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul) realized that she had precious little time to get to know her as more than "just my mother." Recognizing that mother-daughter relationships are often mired in conflicting emotions, Marcdante decided to write My Mother, My Friend: The Ten Most Important Things to Talk About with Your Mother for adult daughters hoping to share a new level of friendship with their moms. She offers clear, practical advice on how to broach weighty subjects (such as aging, death, financial security) and how to listen actively, along with ideas for spending time together. ( Apr. 2)
