We are a positive support system for Motherless Daughters throughout the state of New Jersey.
Our mission is to provide a statewide community for motherless daughters through shared feelings, experiences, and help. The mother-daughter connection and the grief we feel when we lose them is unique, and the support we need is not easily found in our other social and familial circles. No matter if it happened two weeks ago, two months, two years, ten or thirty, the synergy created between all of us fosters an environment of comfort, trust, and knowledge.
This group is open to women of all ages who have lost their mothers and would like to meet with others who understand their loss and the void that is left in each our lives. We'll meet to celebrate our mothers and support each other. We will share our stories, thoughts and experiences. We are all at different stages of our grief, and this group is to remind you that you are never alone - there is always someone who can understand where you have been or where you are.
This New Jersey-based Motherless Daughters group was formed as an adjunct to the NYC Motherless Daughters group, so that the NJ members can also be part of the bigger entity in NYC, with all it's incredible energy, while attending smaller, more informal events from time to time in New Jersey. We plan to meet wherever is convenient for the majority of members.
Regardless of where you are in your journey, please join us.

Please note: Our group is not just about sharing our immediate, long-term, and ever-changing grief and finding survival methods and resolve, but also in creating a constant network of understanding and caring women who bond by being able to understand that grief on the deepest level - and sharing gatherings, events, outings, and discussions, in order to create positive interactive experiences for us, helping us to ease into our acceptance and growth.
