Moms Without a Mom: Missing Out On The Love of a Mother uncovers the trials and triumphs of motherhood in the absence of a mother's love. With a focus on constructing a supportive network, establishing a powerful mom identity, and harnessing resilience in the face of hardship, it provides a sense of community and empowerment.

I will never forget the moment when my husband placed our newborn son on my chest moments after giving birth and thinking to myself, "My mom is dead, and I have no idea how to be a mom."  It was this surreal moment filled with a mix of joy and awe as well as this overwhelming fear and grief. I was a mom without a mom and I had no idea that daughters without mothers experienced unique challenges that are rarely talked about.

Becoming a Mother Is the Greatest Gift.  But, If You Are Missing Momma, Have the Emotionally absent Mother, or Your Mom Is Dead, Grief Healing Is Part of Your Experience.
