Description

Mom's Book is a memoir-in-essays born from a mother's attempt to stay close to her son, and her discovery that love does not disappear but continues to speak.

Through a nonlinear rhythm of memory and music, Wendy Goldberg traces the life she shared with her son Ben as they moved through illness and the maze of modern medicine. What began as a private journal opens into a living conversation between mother and son, body and spirit, as certainty fades and meaning quietly takes shape.

"Western medicine held the body, while something older and quieter tended the spirit."

From hospital rooms to what goes unsaid, Ben's presence becomes the thread that weaves this story together. In a mosaic of moments, Mom's Book resists narratives of cure or closure and settles into a meditation on what endures.

Written for readers drawn to emotional depth and beauty, Mom's Book listens for love beyond goodbye.

About the Author
Goldberg, Wendy: - Wendy Goldberg is a writer whose work explores how we live and love in the presence of loss. Her writing emerges from lived experience-most profoundly as mother to her late son, Ben-whose short, tender, and musically enriched life continues to guide her purpose. Through the Benjamin Goldberg Foundation, Wendy advocates for mainstream access to the healing arts, bridging clinical care with human connection. As host of The BGF Podcast, she engages guests in conversations about grief, meaning, and what endures through story and art. An entrepreneur by instinct, Wendy developed a "numbers-as-narrative" sensibility that informs both her business leadership and her writing. She serves as president of W.C. Goldberg and Co., a CPA and consulting firm based in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Across her work-on the page, in conversation, and in the community-Wendy is devoted to translating loss into connection and love into movement.
