Goodbye, Mom: A Memoir of Prayer, Jewish Mourning and Healing, is a practical and spiritual guide embedded within the true story of son's struggle to deal with his mother's passing. It is a moving story of hope and prayer, love and respect, mourning and grieving, and healing. The first part of the book describes how the author dealt with his mother's terminal illness, specifically her final days. Several chapters are dedicated to explain how prayer can be used as a healing tool (based on Jewish sources). The author also describes the proper way to deal with a loved one who is dying. The second part of Goodbye Mom describes the entire Jewish mourning process including tahara, funeral, burial, shiva, shloshim, kaddish, and unveiling, through the author's personal experience. While there are many wonderful guides to Jewish mourning, learning from someone's personal experiences is the most powerful and effective way. Although the mourning customs are Jewish, the concepts of prayer, grieving, and healing discussed in the book are universal. The Appendix contains a practical guide to the entire Jewish mourning process.
