Thriving as a Mom Without a Mom
Guidance for moms who don't have a
supportive mother by their side
by Melissa E. D. Reilly, Psy.D.
Thriving As A Mom Without A Mom is a heartwarming guide that offers comfort and support to mothers navigating the challenges of motherhood without a supportive mom figure. With touching personal stories and practical insights, this inspiring book reminds you that you're not alone and that it's possible to thrive as a mom without a mom.
Dealing with motherlessness means you are more likely to have feelings of longing, sadness, and even anger triggered during your normal day-to-day parenting.
You are in the right place if.....
- You wish you had a supportive mom in your life (even though you know that can't happen
- You feel alone as a mom because your mom friends that have their mother just don't get what it's like
- You feel overwhelmed by everything you need to get done in a day without any help
- You don't know who to trust or rely on in an emergency
- You constantly judge yourself harshly for being a "bad mom" whenever one tiny thing goes wrong
- You feel jealous (and maybe even a little resentful or envious) of the other moms who have their mom around to help
- You feel like you don't know how to be a good mom because you don't have one to teach you
- You wish your kids had an active grandma in their life
- You think something is wrong with you because being a mom seems so much harder for you then it seems to be for everyone else
The Programs here at Moms Without A Mom will help you...
- feel good about who you are as a mom no matter what your own mother was like
- create a network of people to rely on for help when you need it
- say good-by to feelings of jealousy when you see other women with their moms
- feel supported by women who understand your situation
- feel less anxious and fearful about every parenting decision you make
- be comfortable with your weaknesses knowing that you and your children are perfectly fine with you as you are
- know exactly how to get the help you need before an emergency occurs
- put a plan in place for when life’s emergencies occur, rather than scrambling during a crisis
- recognize that being a mom without a mom creates unique challenges that make being a mom harder so you don't feel like something is wrong with you
- be confident in your parenting
- get the help you need when you need it
If you want to move from feeling alone and without "mom support" to feeling confident and full of motherhood joy, even on those days you long for a loving mom right beside you, then the Moms Without A Mom programs are right for you!

Grief Healing - because we grieve the absence of a mom we wish we had with us.
It doesn't matter if your mom is alive or deceased; if she was a great mom or was unhealthy for you. All moms long for the support and guidance of a loving mom to help them. Here, you will learn how grief shows up in your life and what to do about it.
Mom Community- because we aren't physically capable of providing for all of the needs of our family on our own.
As a mom without a mom, you don't have the go-to person a mom typically functions as. Here, you will learn how to intentionally build a community that supports, assists, and guides you when you need it.
Mom Identity - because we aren't born knowing how to be a good mom.
We learn from our own experience being mothered and by the moms we see in our life. Here you will learn to embrace yourself as a mom even if your experience of being mothered was less than ideal.
You will build your mom community, create your own mother support, experience grief healing, and become grounded in mama joy.
Grief Healing
The first step includes exploring the transformative power of grief healing. Grief shows up in many forms. It may be related to the death of your mom, the loss of a relationship you want to have but know you can't due to estrangement, grief related to the lack of a maternal grandmother for your child, grief related to the loss of a hoped-for relationship with a loving and supportive mom.
Mom Community
The second step involves building a mom community. Momless moms don't have the benefit of a "go-to" person that one's mother often fills. Moms without a mom need to intentionally build their community to create the support and guidance they need.
Mom Identity
The third step involves the development of our mom identity. When our first child is born, we become a mom. Knowing who we are as a first-time mom doesn't always come naturally, especially when one has had a difficult relationship with their own mother.
Are you ready to learn more about what it would look like to work together so you can be the best mom possible for yourself and your children?
Hi, I'm Dr. Melissa Reilly
.
You are not alone on this motherhood journey. There are many of us out there that do not have a loving mother to depend on as we navigate motherhood, especially as a first-time mom.
- As a Mom Without a Mom, I know all too well the challenges of being a mom without the support, guidance, and assistance from one's mother.
- Being a mom without a mom is more common than people realize, and yet many of us feel so isolated and alone in our motherhood journey.
- Many of us don't know where to get our questions answered or how to seek out the assistance we need.
- Those of us who are dealing with motherlessness are more likely to have feelings of longing, sadness, and even anger triggered during our normal day-to-day parenting.
- Moms Without A Mom is here to provide support, guidance, and reassurance when you need it because you need more than just great resources (which we have). You also need a strong support system (we have that too).
- We know you can be a good mother even if you no longer have (or never have had) a good mother in your life. You will develop the tools to be a confident mom.
- The relationship you had (or didn't have) impacts how you see yourself as a mom, but it doesn't define you. We are here to make sure you feel good about being the mother you have always wanted to be. Whether you grew up dealing with motherlessness, had an emotionally absent mother, or miss your mom [or not] it affects your relationship with your child.
- Knowledge and skills alone don't create resilience; rather, overcoming hardship, having a community, and living by one's values does. As a momless mom, you’ve experienced hardship and have persevered. We are here to help you build your community, recognize and live out your values, feel strong in your mom identity, and compassionately support you during times when grief is triggered.
Are you ready to learn more about what it would look like to work together so you can be the best mom possible for yourself and your children?
Is the absence of a supportive loving mom causing unexpected feelings when you're with your kids?
Do you get distracted by thoughts and memories of your mom but want to be more attentive to your family so you can be the mom you’ve always wanted to be?
Are you worried that your past negatively impacts your present (and future) relationship with your children?
