Motherless Daughters: Finding Yourself After Losing Your Mom

What really happens to a woman when she loses her mother? How does she find her way back to herself?

The New Feminist returns after a year away. Our host Jill Sorensen lost her own mother and is back this Mother’s Day to speak with bestselling author and grief coach Hope Edelman. Hope’s mother passed away when she was young, an experience that inspired her New York Times #1 bestselling book Motherless Daughters. It was an instant cultural phenomenon that changed the conversation about mother loss forever.

Hope is the founder and CEO of Motherless Daughters and offers online support groups, webinars and in-person retreats reaching thousands of women annually.

In this episode we talk about:

The surprising lifelong impact of losing your mom — unlike any other loss — and how you find yourself after she is gone
What happens when your mother passes away while you are young and you miss the blueprint on how to be a woman
The physical and emotional effects of mother loss
How to live alongside grief and honor her memory

Whether you lost your mom recently or decades ago, whether you never had her at all or whether you are a mom yourself — this conversation is for you.
