THE YEAR MY MOTHER DIED
is unique in that other memoir authors,
even those who focus on a relatives death,
cannot offer the perspective of a physician
specifically trained in palliative/hospice
care. Scotts unique response to her own
mothers death makes her realize that her
familiarity with death does not determine
her path through grief. Scott portrays a
year-long journey, punctuated by nostalgia
and quirky behavior, and ultimately
offers hope to those who grieve. Through
humor and reflection, she finds a way to
honor her mothers profound contribution
to her life.
