Hi G.,
I too lost my mother too young, both for her and me. She never got to see me marry, or to meet my three beautiful children. It was her dream to be a grandma. Each time I have had a baby (my youngest is now 7 months old) it has brought up all of the old pain, and the longing to have a mother to bond with and to help me and support me. I am going to look into the Motherless mothers group; it sounds like it might be nice to have the support of other women who don't have their own mothers to guide their mothering.
Are you in Portland, G.? Perhaps we could organize a coffee gathering, say at Sip n Kranz in the Pearl, or some other child friendly place?
