Ep36: Raising a family, campaigning and grieving for the mum I’m missing: Claire’s Story

from The Motherless Mothers · host Hosted by Adina and Lou, Founders of TMM Community

Claire is a mum-of-three and became motherless on New Year’s Eve. She lost the mum she always knew and became her carer overnight - a role reversal no one can quite prepare you for, especially when 12-weeks pregnant. We sit down and talk campaigning, teen parenting and changing your whole career so you can pour your grief into something you love everyday. Claire says, "Now I'm a therapist specialising in grief and bereavement, and my work continues to be influenced by my mum every single day. Being a mother without a mother is a journey I’m still on, sometimes strong, sometimes messy, always shaped by love and absence in equal measure."Love,Adina & LouTo find out more about TMM, visit our website here.To find out more about Claire's private practice and get in touch with her, check out her website here.
