Navigating the holidays as a motherless daughter can be a mix of emotions. There’s an expectation of a Norman Rockwell-style family celebration that just doesn’t live up to expectations for so many grieving a loss or dealing with a strained relationship. Loved ones of a motherless daughter struggle to understand how she feels or find the right words to say. Today, we are sharing some thoughts and advice from our Founder, Dr. Mary Ellen Collins, on approaching condolences and talking to a motherless daughter this time of year.
