Warning: This episode contains mature themes and sensitive topics. 

While I think the conversation is deep, important and rich, it could be triggering for some. Please use your best judgment and assess whether you are in the right state of mind to be exposed to such content at this point in time.

Hope Edelman and Dr. Judith Rabinor on how mother loss shapes our identity and impact the way we parent. 

Losing a parent as a child is always traumatic. And its impact is long-term. Two short sentences but they say a lot. Especially for those of us who have become bereaved by a parental death before the age of 18. 

SOME KEY POINTS

  • Why we don’t like talking about grief
  • How there is no getting over it when it comes to grief 
  • How not all loss is traumatic
  • Hitting important life milestones and transitions as a motherless mother such as: Approaching, just turned or passing the age of your mom when she died and your child turning the age you were when your mother died
