Courtney has risen from the ashes of what was intended to destroy her and written one hell of a comeback story, one where she finally became…uncaged.
For years, Dr. Courtney Evans lived with the echo of a mother whose love came with conditions… control disguised as care, criticism delivered as concern, silence used as punishment.
She spent years writing letters that went unanswered, begging for forgiveness, for understanding, for love and eventually chose no contact, believing distance might bring peace.
When her mother entered hospice, Courtney found herself back at the bedside, caught between duty and survival, compassion and resentment. She didn’t go looking for closure. She went to witness the ending.
Like My Mother Was: A Daughter’s Story of Finding Grace After Goodbye is a deeply honest memoir about grief, identity, and the impossible work of loving someone who never learned how to love you back.
Told with piercing clarity and quiet strength, Courtney explores the space between grief and relief, love and loss, memory and truth. What it means to finally find peace in the aftermath.
This isn’t a story about death.
It’s a story about release and the grace that follows when you stop pretending it was love.
