The primary goal of this group is to provide support to women OF ANY AGE who lost their mothers during their developmental years, i.e. up to about age 25. However we invite women who lost their mothers at any time to come, share their stories and look to this group for comfort and understanding. Whether you lost your mother last week, last year, or a decade ago, we welcome you. This group is inspired by the book Motherless Daughters, by Hope Edelman. We laugh, we cry, we share and most of all we realize we are not alone.

    "Hi Everyone, I am 53 years old and I lost my Mom in December. Just 34 days after that loss, my father died after a fall. I am having a hard time dealing with both deaths, I just need a group that could get together and discuss ways to deal."

    "My mom suddenly passed away on 1/28/12. She in the flesh was my world and her spirit is still my world. My existence in this world has shattered and on top of this I'm 9 months pregnant due on 2/18. My son won't be able to see his grandma."

    "Hello! I am 27 years old and I lost my mother 5 months ago, on July 29,2011, to breast cancer. It still seems unreal and I miss her more than words can express. I would love to meet with people who I can relate to."
