Becoming The Oldest Generation – A Memoir by Marianna Mejia

This is a book about my reactions to my mother’s decay, her death, and the mourning period. The story takes place in Herzlia Petuach, Israel in 1996 and 1997.

My Wish

My wish is that my writing about my mother’s aging and death help others as they pass through this human stage of life. It is hard to have a parent die. Maybe my experiences, chronicled here will be a helpful guide and comfort to others as they face this loss and also become the elder generation in the continuing cycle of life!

 

Inside the book:

How I dealt with death of a parent. Ways to cope with the death of a loved one.

Emotional and spiritual growth.

Resources: friends, spiritual help (specifically mine was shamanic), humor, witnesses,
