"Grief-Aware Care™ was born from my own experience of navigating motherhood without my mum. It was created to guide clinicians, employers, and society how to truly see and support motherless mothers."

“It hadn’t even occurred to me to look up a community online, but I was delighted to see TMM. I’ve listened to all the podcast episodes and feel genuinely seen, heard and understood.”

“It’s lovely to find out my feelings are not weird and getting through motherhood without a mum is a big deal. I strongly believe connection is a key to feeling stronger. I feel better already just hearing from others.”

“When you've lost your mum, it's not just the anniversaries or big things that make you miss her. Something fascinates you, or makes you laugh and your instinct is to share with her, to see her smile, or hear her laugh... Loss catches you, sometimes when you're least expecting it."
