The Briefing · BONUS: The other side of Mother's Day · 9 May 2026 podcast

Tell us more about what your research uncovered about what motherless daughters are going through.

What about the response from the medical field, GPs, and the finding that some women are having their kind of trauma and their grief dismissed?

How did you find that out?

Tell us more about the impact of losing your mum as a woman, as an adult.

Help us better understand how that feels.

Can you tell me why with your group that you helped co-found, you chose to focus on daughters and not boys or sons as well?

What is it about the mother-daughter bond that you felt needed this group to better support women who were going through it?

So the research talked a bit about how some respondents in the survey felt that they were dismissed by society for experiencing their grief and, as you mentioned a bit before earlier, were kind of told –

there's the expectation to, oh, come on, like she died a year ago, get over it or whatever.

I want to ask you though, are things getting a little bit better in this space?

I've noticed over the last maybe five years, I get emails from about late April, rather, in the lead up to Mother's Day from all of the millions of companies I'm unfortunately subscribed to saying, would you like to unsubscribe from upcoming Mother's Day promotion emails?

And that move is designed so that women who have lost their mother...

don't have to be bombarded with constant Mother's Day messaging in the lead up to Mother's Day.

So my question around that then is, are we getting better as a society at recognising just how tough it is to have to go through life without your mum?

Yeah, 100%.

Look, I have a friend who's actually part of Motherless Daughters and I remember, so this was, I don't know, a few years ago.

So I was younger, maybe a little bit more naive.

I would try and Mother's Day would come up and we'd all kind of try and rally around her.

But there were times when I felt I was saying something wrong or I wasn't saying enough and

How can we in our own lives be better support systems for our friends and family members who have lost their mum?
