Mother loss can be one of the most profound losses in human experience. This is because the bond we share with our mothers from the womb lays the template for our first experience of love and connection. When that connection is severed, whether due to complications at birth, illness or death of the mother, or compromised maternal mental health, we can experience a strong disconnection from ourselves and
our place in the world.
Often times the mother-child connection can be lost even when our mothers are still alive. This type of ambiguous loss can then be compounded when an actual death occurs, or if the mother is absent in other ways. As adults, this can leave us with a mélange of shame, guilt, sadness, anger, loneliness, and a yearning for maternal connection.
