 Mother's Day for Motherless Daughters Call
May 13, 2023 Mother's Day weekend can bring up all kinds of feelings for a woman whose mother has died: sadness, longing, anger, loneliness, confusion, hopelessness, and more. We make room for all of them each year on their annual Mother's Day for Motherless Daughters call. Please join Hope Edelman and Claire Bidwell Smith on Saturday, May 13 at 1 PT/4 ET for a FREE, virtual Mother's Day weekend event for motherless daughters. Women worldwide will come together in sisterhood and solidarity for 60 minutes of discussion and Q&A, a toast to all your moms, and their signature Circle of Remembrance. This year's topic is "Connecting with the Mother Energy Inside You." Hope and Claire will share ideas for self-nurturing and hear from members of the larger community. Stay for an additional 30 minutes of open conversation at the end to connect with women of all ages and backgrounds who share this profound life experience! Last year's event brought nearly 500 women from dozens of countries onto the screen together. You'll be welcomed as part of a sisterhood no one wanted to join, yet one that can offer you comfort and support this holiday weekend. This event is free and open to women who lost a mother to death at any age. If you can't make it, be sure to register anyway, as they will send out the replay within 24 hours of the event. Register, and you'll receive information by email about how to join the event on May 13. Sign up at at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mothers-day-for-motherless-daughters-2023-tickets-624530606857

October 3, 2020 from 3:00 - 4:00 PM (MST) Registration is FREE and easy: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/gathering-2020-tickets-106828749666 Questions? Send us a message or check out our FAQ page: https://www.gatheringhope.net/ghfaq Want to connect with other mothers before the Gathering? Join the private Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/85 Gathering 2020 will feature powerful speakers, uplifting worship, and a sacred, intimate atmosphere where you are regarded as a truly beloved guest. This Gathering includes an interactive experience, where women can collectively both grieve and celebrate their babies. Healing conversation will be engaged in while via private virtual rooms. Please join from the comfort of your own home and gather to recognize our babies and our motherhood, together. Christ gifts us with the presence of one another as a source of comfort and the annual Gatherings serve as a catalyst for moms to begin forming relationships.  Mother’s Day often reminds people of losses they don't often speak of, like the mom who neglected, reject, abused or abandoned them. Moms are not supposed to leave or hurt their children, prefer substance addiction or a romantic relationship instead of their kids. Unfortunately, many do.
Perhaps a son or daughter had a wonderful mother who has died, is dying, or suffers from a disease that has stolen the mom they were from them, and they are missing her on every level imaginable. Many moms are grieving a child or children that died, included mothers who've lost adult children, teens, infants at birth or by miscarriage. The hole in their hearts forever exquisitely tender and incomprehensibly deep. Mothers who are estranged from their kids and/or their child has an addiction, mental illness, severe disability, or has rejected them or their family may ache for a call or visit home or the restoration of health and/or sobriety. Some dream of being a mom but carry the heavy grief of that unfulfilled longing, whether due to infertility, past abortion, miscarriage, medical conditions, or the fact that the family and/or marriage they dreamed of never materialize. If Mother’s Day is a difficult day for you for one of these causes, or for any reason, we acknowledge your loss, sadness and pain. Your feelings are valid and real. It's okay not to be okay. Please be extra kind and gentle with yourself today. For all of you who are missing a special person in your life on Mother's Day, and every day you are not alone. |
