Episode 3: Sometimes I Miss Being Someone's Child

Sometimes I miss being someone's child.Not in a childish way.Not because I want fewer responsibilities or someone else to solve my problems.But because there was once someone in the world whose role it was to worry about me, check on me, notice when I was carrying too much, and remind me that I didn't have to hold everything alone.In this episode of The Motherless Mother Podcast, Tishka Moss explores one of the quieter realities of motherhood after losing your mother: missing the person who knew you first.For many motherless mothers, grief isn't only about missing a parent. It's about missing the one relationship where you didn't have to explain yourself, perform, or carry everyone else's needs before your own. It's about longing for the woman who noticed when you were tired, checked in without being asked, and loved every version of you.Whether you've lost your mother, are grieving the gradual loss of the mother you once knew, or are navigating motherhood without the mothering you needed, this conversation is for you.In this episode:• What it really means to miss being someone's child • Why motherhood can make the absence of our mothers feel more visible • The hidden weight of always being the one who holds everything together • Missing the person who knew every version of you • Why strong, capable women still need care too • The unique intersection of grief, daughterhood, and motherhoodIf you've ever found yourself thinking, "I wish I could call my mom," this episode will likely feel familiar.🌿 If this podcast has started to feel like a place where you can exhale a little, I'd love for you to follow or subscribe so you'll know when a new episode is waiting for you each Tuesday.🌿 Taking 30 seconds to leave a quick review helps other motherless mothers find the podcast too.🌿 And if you know another motherless mother who might need this conversation, I would be honored if you'd share it with her.🌿 I’d love to hear from you. You can email me at [email protected] and tell me a little about your story, share a thought about an episode, or simply say hello.Every message is read by me personally.
