14 Days: A Mother, A Daughter, A Two Week Goodbye

How do you let go of a hand you've held your whole life?
When Lisa traveled home to visit her parents in December 2011, she never expected an ordinary three-day weekend to turn into an extraordinary 14-day observance of her mother’s life – and ultimately – death. From a child’s first breath to a mother’s last, 14 Days shows how closing that circle can be a celebration of this unbreakable bond.

""Written with love, empathy, and humor, Lisa Goich’s story of her mother’s final journey is at once heartbreaking and inspiring."
- Carole King, singer, songwriter and author of A Natural Woman

“The book you hold in your hands is an intimate, sacred pilgrimage into the soul-bond between a mother and daughter who genuinely lived the meaning of unconditional love. Written with honesty, humor, and above all, great love and respect, Lisa Goich offers us a memoir that lights up the experience of loss with a comforting grace.”
- Michael Bernard Beckwith, author of Life Visioning

"One of the greatest and most challenging tasks of life is saying goodbye to our parents. Whether the relationship was good or difficult, all sorts of feelings and memories are jarred when we walk this path. This book presents a beautiful and accurate description of one person's experience of that very important process. While it is indeed one person's journey, there are lessons to be studied that are universal!"
J. Donald Schumacher, PsyD, President and CEO, National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization

"I LOVE this book! 14 DAYS is a beautiful gift from the heart of a daughter to the spirit of her mother. Written with true depth, compassion and incredible humor, Lisa's story cuts through the pretense of what the death experience looks like to some and shares instead a true love story. We will all walk the journey of death and I believe this book will help us walk it with ease and grace, just as the inspiring Millie did."
