Looking for a book recommendation on navigating parenting and life in general with no family besides a spouse.
I have found it very difficult to navigate parenting without my Mom who passed away. She passed away more than 20 years ago but the grief can be overwhelming as I have become a mother. And I am estranged from other family members and basically I only have my husband and teenager son.
Most of the time I keep busy with enjoying my life, but sometimes the absence of a mother and family of origin is utterly devastating. Even seeing other people with close knit families is triggering. I’m not super extroverted, so I’m not looking for suggestions on “building a village”. More of an internal thing and how to have internal peace.
