Stay close to mom for breastfeeding, for holding, for sleeping.
We're not meant to be separated.
Protection is that we feel safe enough and she is safe enough to be close to us.
If she's not safe, chances are we're not going to feel very safe.
So protection is a big issue.
And then guidance.
As we grow into adolescence and then we start to think about who are we going to be when we grow up,
Some of us are lucky enough to have a mom that we can look to for that inspiration, but a lot of us don't.
And so maybe we had a nurturing mother, but we didn't have a good guide.
Or maybe we had a very protective mother, but she was kind of cold.
Or maybe we had a mother that was just laissez-faire, go do whatever you want, and we didn't quite feel safe.
There are just so many manifestations of if we missed one of those three things, we're probably going to feel some mother hunger.
Well, I think it's difficult to look with fresh eyes if we read this book as a parenting manual.
So if any of you out there, if you're a mom, the tendency to pick up this book and start to examine how you've been a mother or are a mother is ripe.
And that's not why I wrote this book.
In fact, I almost didn't write this book because I didn't want women to have another thing beating them up about what to do as women, what to do as a wife, a mother.
I didn't want to add to the movement that has already burdened women unfairly.
This book isn't about blaming mothers at all.
It's about an invisible heartbreak that has been
until now, until we had a name, untouchable.
