The premise of our podcast is that the early loss of our moms entirely shifted our lens, how we navigate the world, and who we have become. On today's episode and in the 3 episodes to follow, we dive deeper into the topic of “The Impact of Early Mother Loss.” We’ll touch on a study conducted in the UK and then discuss the death of our moms and the many additional factors that impacted us, including sudden death or death from a prolonged illness, our relationships with other family members, relationships with friends and romantic partners, our support system outside of our nuclear family, and, of course, secondary losses. We'll also discuss how children grieve differently than adults and how the impact of our loss has shown up for us adults in regards to mental health, boundaries, hyper-independence, and relationships (family, friendships, and romantic).
