Join us for the 6th Annual Mother's Day for Motherless Daughters free event online.

❤️ No matter how long ago a mother died, we are always and still her daughter. ❤️

Mother's Day weekend can bring up all kinds of feels for a woman whose mother has died: Sadness, longing, loneliness, love, envy, anger, gratitude, confusion, and more.

We make space for all of it on our annual Mother's Day for Motherless Daughters call.

Please join Hope Edelman, Claire Bidwell Smith, Angela Schellenberg, and Alicia “ACE” Easter on Saturday, May 10 at 10 PT/1 ET for a FREE, virtual, day-before Mother’s Day event. 

Every May, women from all over the world traditionally come together in sisterhood and solidarity for discussion and a Q&A, a toast to all our moms, and our signature Circle of Remembrance.

Last year’s call brought nearly 500 women from dozens of countries onto a single screen together! 

This year's topic is "Always Her Daughter.” You’re invited to join the 75-minute event, which will include:

  • Hope’s annual Mother’s Day Letter to Motherless Daughters;

  • Claire’s ideas for honoring a mom on this weekend;

  • Angela’s techniques for staying balanced, calm, and emotionally regulated through grief;

  • Ace’s group Gratitude Meditation to center and soothe your heart;

  • Group Q&A to address your questions and share in community;

  • A toast to all our moms (feel free to light a candle!);

  • A commitment to self-nurturing and honoring your own needs this weekend;

  • Our signature Circle of Remembrance (a powerful moment of connection, as we hold hands across the globe in honor of our mothers).

There’s something so powerful about being part of a large group of women who understand what it means to miss a mom on this weekend, and to acknowledge that she still matters and her memory lives on. 

We are committed to keeping this event free and open to any woman who has lost a mother to death at any age. We do have web and marketing expenses to cover each year, so we run the call on a donation-only basis. We recommend a $10 donation and appreciate whatever you’re able to contribute. 

And if you register and share your mom's name before May 5, we'll list her on an online tribute page at www.motherlessdaughters.com. ❤️

Just click here to register and you'll receive information by email about how to join us on May 10.

We look forward to seeing you then!

❤️ xo Hope, Claire, Angela, and ACE ❤️

P S If you aren't able to make it to the call live, be sure to register anyway. We’ll send out the replay within 24 hours of the event, and we’ll also follow up with all kinds of special offers after!
