The Tamsen Show · What No One Tells You About Grief After Losing Your Mother · 16 Jul 2026 podcast

Yes, you do get on with your life, but it is always a part of your life and it does affect everything you do.

And then here's a woman in Texas who wrote, I lost my mother to cancer when I was 25 years old.

She was diagnosed in April and died in July.

Nothing prepared me for the pain or the depth of the loss.

Everything you said about a lifetime of grieving is true and everything you said about being mentally strong because there is no mother to help you is also true.

10 years.

I just did number 30.

I love that.

That's almost 600 women.

When these women meet each other, what happens?

There's this instant moment of recognition.

One woman described it as the alien finding the mothership.

I just did a retreat last week in Connecticut.

And this was the first one I did just for women 50 plus.

There were 25 women sitting in a circle with myself and co-facilitator.

And it was incredible to see how quickly they bonded

By the end of dinner the first night, they said they felt that they had known each other for years.

What brings that bond?

What is it that happens there, do you think?

I think it's that shared history, partly the relief of being in a room where you don't feel like the odd woman out, the only one without a mom.
