Mother Loss Awareness Day is an important opportunity to recognise women navigating motherhood without their own mothers by their side. It is wonderful to see women coming together to build their own networks of support, so no mother has to feel alone in navigating that loss.

“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.”
