  • Summary

  • What does it mean to mother without a mother? How does this particular grief impact the experience of mothering?


    In this conversation with clinical psychologist and coach Melissa Reilly, we explore the specific terrain of being a mother without a loving mom, including:

    -Melissa's long time experience of grief

    -how grief showed up for her when she was pregnant and postpartum (and how she didn't realize at first that it was grief)

    -some particular patterns and community support that is essential for moms without moms to pay attention to and gather around

    -the difference between being hurt and being wounded 

    -the pro-social nature of grief

    -and why she's so fired up about supporting moms at this specific juncture
