Therapy for Mother Loss

Whether you had a great relationship with your Mom, a strained relationship with her, or a relationship somewhere in between the death of your mother will likely have had a profound impact on your life.

If you were a young child when your Mom died you may not have many memories of your relationship with her and you may have found yourself often imagining what your relationship with her would have been like.

Grieving the loss of your mother can be:

  • Grieving the relationship, you had with her.
  • Grieving the relationship, you hoped and longed to have with her.
  • Grieving the Mom/the person you did not get to know due to your young age when she died

Regardless of your age and your stage in life, the death of a mother is a deeply significant loss and can evoke overwhelming feelings of instability, uncertainty, deep sadness, fear, anxiety, and anger and loneliness.

Everyone’s grief journey is unique and there is no right or wrong way to grieve the passing of your Mother.

Heidi offers individual therapy for motherless daughters incorporating her own lived experience, her 27 years clinical experience working with individuals and her mother loss certification completed with Hope Edelman and Claire Bidwell Smith.
