Albury Wodonga Motherless Daughters
Wodonga, Victoria - Australia
Albury Wodonga Motherless Daughters hold a motherless daughters luncheon each year. We recognise that for many women whose mothers have died, Mother’s Day can be a time of mixed feelings. We join many other women from across the globe, to reminisce and celebrate our journey as motherless daughters. The day includes a short opening address, followed by a shared lunch and ceremony to honour our departed mothers. This event is based on the initiative of Hope Edelman, US Author of “Motherless Daughters”.

Amsterdam, Netherlands Motherless Daughters Group
Haarlem and Amsterdam - Netherlands
A social group for women who are motherless daughters, inspired from Hope Edelman’s book. We meet at the organizer’s house (in Haarlem), and at local spots around Amsterdam. Women of all ages and all loss ages are welcome. We share stories and advice with each other, sometimes circling around a particular topic, and will generally be meeting once a month. The group is facilitated by the group leader, and on special occassions we invite a special guest speaker to join. This is a new group, open to ideas and suggestions for improvement – we make it what we want it to be!

Atlanta, Georgia
Atlanta, Georgia - United States
Coaching to the Heart is a community for women of all ages to experience a safe and supportive space to share their feelings and experiences after the loss of a mother. This is a place for motherless daughters and motherless mothers to support each other and no longer feel alone in their grief.
The monthly group is facilitated by a certified spiritual life coach and on special occasions we invite a special guest to join the conversation.
You should expect to gain acknowledgement, learn new skills and tools, and experience an opportunity to build long term relationships through Sisterhood.
“As a motherless daughter at the tender age of 3, I am always deeply appreciative of the comforting, caring, attentive listening, and authenticity women demonstrate in the motherless daughters group.” – Diana Curtis

The interactions are engaging, positive and can be solution focused if a difficult situation (related to being motherless or its consequences) bubbles up in conversation. Before getting together, members are given an opportunity to suggest a meeting question or topic (no pressure—just opportunity!). We feel lucky to have found each other!
